We’d LOVE to ADOPT YOU in to our Family!
Our extended family at The Ranch consists of philanthropists, corporate sponsors, and donors of all sizes. The Ranch wouldn’t still be around without “family” and their contacts. We’d LOVE to grow this list exponentially and quickly. Imagine the maintenance required on 38+ acres with 12 young children living in the same house and barns full of animals…and that’s just property maintenance. That does NOT include food, clothes, hygiene products – all the luxuries most enjoy in your everyday life.
Here are a few ways you can consider helping:
PHILANTHROPY: Philanthropy or monetary donations support a cause without any commercial incentives. Money is donated simply for the good of the cause with no ‘strings’ attached. Usually there is little fanfare regarding this type of donation, however the donation can be used to increase the corporate image usually with it’s own stakeholders. Companies and families are usually thanked in a quiet way. Donations are fully receiptable as there are no benefits or advantages received by the donor company
SPONSORSHIP: “Sponsorships,” on the other hand, can be a cash donation or in-kind fee, either one-time or recurring, paid to The Stevens & Pruett Foundation in return for access to the commercial potential associated with our organization and/or event. Money usually comes from the marketing, advertising, or communications budget and is decided by the person(s) managing these areas.
The strategy would be to build a link between the sponsor and our Foundation (or event) in our target audience’s minds to win consumers. Sponsorship is undertaken to achieve commercial objectives and can be highly public and shared on websites, social media pages, and other potential media outlets.
IN-KIND DONATIONS – CORPORATE: If the product donation has a material advantage to the donor company by raising the company’s public profile (i.e. by selling more products and services) and increasing positive public awareness of the product with both current and potential customers, this would be considered a sponsorship arrangement, which is therefore non-receiptable. Product donations usually come from the marketing or advertising budget. Product donations are deductible as a business expense. It is the policy of the Foundation not to issue tax receipts for any in-kind contributions to community events.
IN-KIND DONATIONS—PERSONAL: These are donations of time or physical donations of a non-corporate nature. Depending on our agreements, these can be public or privately shared and thanked!
