Volunteer Agreement

Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis (ACP) is grateful to all those businesses, organizations and/or individuals who seek to conduct a third party event in support of our mission.

Protecting the Accelerated Cure Project.s hard earned reputation by being associated with quality third party events is as important as the incremental funds raised by those events. With this in mind, the undersigned agrees to the following when conducting third party events to benefit Accelerated Cure Project.

1. The business/organization/individual will not open any bank accounts using the ACP's name or Employer Identification Number (EIN). Any check donations listing Accelerated Cure Project as "Payee" will be forwarded to ACP for deposit in it's bank account.
2. Only donations made directly to ACP are tax deductible (to the extent permitted by law). Donations made directly to a third party event can thus, be used to cover the event's expenses, but they are not tax deductible.
3. Due to limited personnel resources, ACP is not guaranteed to provide staff support to third party events.
4. The business/organization/individual agrees to minimize expenses related to the third party event.
5. The business/organization/individual agrees to an “open book” policy, and to provide an event plan and budget, if requested.
6. Any use of ACP’s logo or stationary in any mailing, advertising, or for the media must receive prior approval from ACP.
7. ACP will not enter into any agreement with a business/organization/individual when there is a potential conflict of interest with ACP’s programs and policies.
8. All fundraising is to be conducted for the exclusive benefit of ACP. Any variance must be approved by ACP in advance of the event.
9. ACP does not release volunteer or donor names.
10. All third party event organizers are responsible for providing insurance as required by law, or established business practice. The event organizer shall operate the event in accordance with local and state laws and regulations.
11. A check for the third party event’s net proceeds (i.e. gross proceeds less all related expenses), must be mailed or delivered to Accelerated Cure Project within 10 days of the event’s conclusion. The net check is not considered tax deductible to the individual organizer or the business, as it represents funds raised on behalf of ACP.

I individually, or as a representative of the below named business or organization, agree to the above requirements and hereby fully release and agree to hold harmless Accelerated Cure Project for Multiple Sclerosis and its affiliates, their Officers, Directors, Trustees, agents, employees and representatives, successors and entities, together with their insurers, of and from any and all liability, claims, damages, expenses or causes of action for any reason.
