Thank you for contacting CafePress.com!

Many of our shopkeepers use their CafePress.com shop as a way to earn money for a charity. Rather than keeping their earnings for themselves, they will donate them. To donate your proceeds to a charity you will need to request their non profit tax ID number and enter it in the "Payee Information" page along with their address and phone number.

If there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten the promised e-mailed application form. (I've even been checking my spam folder.) I plan on calling Tracey back today.

Jason,

Thank you for taking interest in our organization. It is with the support of concerned individuals like you that the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) continues its efforts to locate and recover missing children, and to raise public awareness about ways to prevent child abduction, endangerment, and sexual exploitation.

In order to use NCMEC’s name in conjunction with your promotion or event, you will need a license agreement. Please complete and return the attached Third Party Event License Application with the relevant information regarding your fundraiser. This application does not authorize you to use NCMEC’s name and/or logo. If your application is incomplete, we will send it back to you. Upon approval of your application, a license agreement will be sent to you. Please allow up to 30 days for license agreement processing.

Below are the Better Business Bureau’s guidelines, which we must adhere to when involved with any fundraiser or event. Please send me any promotional flyers or materials you intend to use to accompany your promotion or event for approval as well.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at (703) 837-6424 or tsokolski@ncmec.org should you need further information. Also, you can visit our web page at: www.missingkids.com. Again, thank you for your interest in benefiting NCMEC. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
