UTHERVERSE FUND RAISERS/CHARITY POLICIES

Due to the overwhelming amount of requests for assistance with fundraising efforts within Utherverse, the following procedures/polices have been implemented.  If you would like the assistance of Utherverse in hosting/holding an event to support a charity or fundraiser please email [email protected] a detailed proposal 4-6 weeks prior to the event date.  Users must understand that Utherverse will ONLY assist and not host or throw the event on your behalf. 100% of the proceeds MUST also go to the charity if Utherverse is to be involved in assisting with your event. We DO NOT engage in the splitting of percentages between charities, charity organizers, volunteers or users.

Fundraisers are restricted to one Fundraiser per month. All Fundraisers have to use exclusively the UVDonates Profile.

Before requesting for assistance from Utherverse for your fundraising event, the charity you want to donate to must have the following qualifications:

• It must be a reputable, registered charity that can issue tax receipts.
• The Charity must be verified by Utherverse as a registered charity.
• Event requester must also provide all pertinent information for the charity.
• Any sort of Raffles are not allowed that have any split where rays are kept as profit or given out as win, as 100 % of the funds have to go to the cause
  Any Ticket fees have to be transferred directly to UVDonates.
  A transfer copy has to then be shown to the Host.
• Auctions are permitted but have to be accomplished as follows:
  The rays for the goods have to be transferred directly to UVDonates by the auctionwinner
  A transfer copy has to be shown to the Host of the auction to recieve the item
