Events FAQ

1. I want to organize an event, what’s the first step?

   Please see our Event Ideas and Planning and Organizing pages for information to assist you in organizing a fundraising event for the Red Door.

   Once you have decided on the kind of event you would like to hold, we ask you to please fill out our Event Proposal Form. Once we receive your form we will review your event and get back to you within 7-10 business days. Once the event is approved, you will be provided with additional resources and templates to help you plan your event.
    

2. I heard about an event, where is it and how do I participate?

   Please visit our event calendar to find out about the events that are happening in support of the Red Door. If you are not able to find the information you are looking for please contact fundraising@reddoorshelter.ca
    

3. Can I issue tax receipts for my event?

   The Red Door adheres to the rules and regulations regarding tax receipting set out by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). It is very important that you understand the rules about tax receipts BEFORE you plan your event. If you intend on offering tax receipts, it must be approved by Red Door. Please see our Event Tax Receipt Information.
    

4. Can you mail our event information out to your donors?

   Unfortunately, the Red Door cannot mail event information out to our existing donors upon request.
    

5. Can you help promote our event?

   The Red Door can help promote your event by adding it to our event listings calendar and tweet your event to our followers.  Once your event is approved you will be provided with additional information and resources on how to promote your event. We cannot however provide any media contact, or assist financially with your promotion in any way.
    

6. Can we have your logo to put on our event material?

   You are able to use our logo on your event material once you have submitted an Event Proposal form and your event has been approved. The Red Door logo is a registered trademark and cannot be used without permission.
