Keep accurate accounts of your event. Columbus Hospice will not be responsible for any expenses
incurred for your fundraising activity.
-
Your fundraising activity should not conflict with an existing Columbus Hospice fundraising event
-
Due to confidentiality commitments, we are unable to provide mailings list, for any reason, of patients, family, donors, volunteers, employees or clinicians.

Please remember annual events need to be reviewed each year by the Columbus Hospice Development Staff.
Our Department Staff has the ability to offer the following services:
-
A letter of authorization to validate the authenticity of the fundraising event.
-
Informational brochures or fact sheets about Columbus Hospice programs and services.
-
Based on availability and scheduled in advance, attendance at the event and/or reception to receive proceeds by a member of our Columbus Hospice team.
-
Use Columbus Hospice's logo and name upon review and approval of event and materials.
-
Written tax receipts to donors who make checks payable directly to Columbus Hospice.
-
When tax receipts are requested for cash donations, the third-party event organizer is responsible for collecting the names, addresses and contact information of the donors.
