Charitable Donations: Terms & Conditions

CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Native Poppy takes great pride in supporting the community. Since its launch in 2013, Native Poppy has invested thousands of dollars back into the community through its contributions to a variety of charitable causes. Due to the volume of requests received, Native Poppy has established a new program to ensure fairness to all organizations requesting funds, eliminates duplication, and ensures that we continue to meet the needs of our community.



CONTRIBUTIONS POLICY

1. Only California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations will be considered.
2. All corporate charitable contributions, sponsorships, and in-kind services will promote our business goals, create positive visibility, and demonstrate social responsibility.
3. Contributions will be coordinated with employee volunteer activities when possible to achieve maximum impact within budget guidelines.
4. We will consider requests to support social, community, civic, educational and economic endeavors if these support corporate business goals and meet contribution guidelines and/or if the organization's staff is involved in the governance of the organization.
