LSF Fundraising Events fall into two categories – Beneficiary Events and Sponsored Events.
A Beneficiary Event is defined as an event hosted by an individual, business or group to raise funds for Lone Survivor Foundation. These events are considered to be financially self-sufficient and are not managed by Lone Survivor Foundation, but agree to use guidelines set forth by Lone Survivor Foundation.
Sponsored Events have all donations and expenses routed directly to the LSF office. The Foundation assists with marketing, registration and record keeping, and issues tax receipts after the event. As such, the Event Organizer will be required to follow certain steps, use the provided forms and checklists, and participate in conference calls to ensure the success and profitability of the event. While LSF reserves the right to sponsor any event, generally only events projected to net over $25,000 are eligible for this option.
If you would like to host an event on behalf of Lone Survivor Foundation, please fill out the form below and a staff member will respond to your request soon! Upon approval of the event, Lone Survivor Foundation will provide a pre-determined set of assets to ensure the event has official and appropriate messaging.
Are you inquiring on behalf of a company?
What does this event do to promote LSF?
Will other charitable organizations benefit from this event?
If so, please list the other organizations along with the donation break down.
What *net* amount do you hope to raise for LSF through your event?
Income minus expenses = net funds.
Tickets, table sales, sponsorships, donations, etc.
What is your process for managing cash and check donations made to LSF?
Online registration website, lockbox at event, etc.
Are you aware of any fees that would be associated with your event?
The attendance of LSF Staff, Representatives, Volunteers, and/or Military Personnel as well as brochures, pamphlets and other informational materials may be requested but cannot be guaranteed. If representatives are provided for your event, the travel and lodging costs incurred will be the responsibility of the Event Organizer and should be worked into the event budget. Event Organizers should be aware that due to Marcus Luttrell's intensive travel and speaking engagement schedule, he is not typically available for event appearances. In order that our funds remain committed to our mission, we cannot provide financial assistance to events not hosted by LSF.
Please initial that you agree to these preliminary terms.
