PearlSpace Fundraiser Guidelines
The PearlSpace must first approve any third-party fundraisers. We ask that any interested parties please complete the Third-Party Fundraising Proposal Form below at least 48 hours prior to the event taking place. This process ensures that any fundraisers held by a third party are aligned with PearlSpace’s mission and vision.
The PearlSpace reserves the right to decline participation in initiatives that do not comply with our mandate.
PearlSpace will not provide insurance coverage for your event. The event organizer(s) is responsible for payment of all licenses, insurance needs, and all other permits or costs required by a venue, municipality, funder, or other governing body.
PearlSpace will not assume any liability for third-party events.
PearlSpace strongly advises all organizers of third-party events involving any variation of physical activity to ensure that all participants sign valid legal disclaimers that waive all claims of physical, personal, or financial liability against the organizers and their agents.
Third Party Event Organizers will be responsible for any financial losses or unsettled accounts. Please note that Third Party Event Organizers do not have the authority to name PearlSpace in any signed contracts.
Any event organizer(s) looking to use the PearlSpace logos or marketing tools must first obtain the proper approval from our organization.
