Marketing & Promotions
Third-party fundraisers are responsible for their own promotions. Northern Oklahoma Humane Society must pre-approve all promotional materials before distribution. All materials must clearly indicate that the event is not sponsored by NOKHS and should specify what portion of proceeds will be donated to NOKHS.
​
It is important that the NOKHS name and logo be used correctly and spelled properly. Always refer to the organization as Northern Oklahoma Humane Society. Please adhere to the following logo guidelines:
-
The logo must be obtained digitally from NOKHS, it may not be copied.
-
The logo may be reproduced in all black or in all white on black or equally dark background. For all color print jobs the color logo should be used.
-
The logo cannot be boxed.
​
Third-Party Fundraiser Approval
Each third-party fundraiser will be considered individually. Generally, the following events will not be approved:
-
Events located in close proximity to another NOKHS event.
-
Events that require significant attendance from NOKHS staff and volunteers.
-
Events associated with businesses or individuals known to conduct themselves in a manner not compatible with the NOKHS mission.
-
Events that result in the sale, auction, or raffling of animals.
Additional Terms
All requests must be submitted a minimum of two weeks prior to the date of your event.
Funds from your third-party fundraiser would need to be delivered to Northern Oklahoma Humane Society within 10 days of the event’s conclusion.
