Third Party Fundraisers

Have an idea for an event to help The Mustard Seed? We'd love to hear it, and help support you in any way we can! You have a role to play in helping end homelessness - and we're here to support you.

Third Party Fundraising Events can be defined as any fundraising initiative brought forward by an individual(s), community group, service club, or business external to The Mustard Seed who wish to raise money through a planned activity that is designed, managed and financially resourced by the external participants.

Please read over the Third Party Fundraising Guidelines to gain a better understanding of how these events operate. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.

Guidelines
If you wish to help in the fight against homelessness by holding a fundraiser with net proceeds or a portion thereof being donated to The Mustard Seed, we ask you to follow these guidelines. Please read the information and sign where indicated. We want to know about your event and assist where we can, so please keep us posted.

  2. The sponsoring organization/group agrees to underwrite all costs of the special event or promotion and to secure such underwriting. The Mustard Seed shall incur no costs unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the special event or promotion.
  3. The organization/group is responsible for obtaining appropriate licenses (ie. for raffles, casinos etc). Information on how licensing may be obtained through the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) website www.aglc.gov.ab.ca. You may also call them at 1-800-272-8876.
