Donors who wish to contribute to the grant awards may do so, by donating "In kind" donations, or by making their own monetary donations to the award winners. If you would like to offer a grant type assistance within your business arena, but do not want to have to handle the application and award process, you may do so through our site, and your items, along with your credits, will be listed on the relevant pages of this site. This offer is not for the cautious! We are asking for a significant commitment for any donors, but we also believe that any business that wishes to contribute can do so, by tailoring their offering to their available strengths. You participate with the following understanding: 1. We are not a non-profit. No tax benefit through us for doing so. You'll have to work that out with your own bookkeeping.
2. Any donated prizes must be for a minimum of 12 awards, one per month for a year. We want to keep the prize awards consistent. EXCEPTION: If you cooperate with other businesses that offer the same service you do, you can share the 12 month commitment. 3. Exposure is a given - you'll get sponsorship listings and marketing benefit as a result of your participation.
4. It has to be relevant - something that will help a business owner start, or revitalize a business. 5. You will be responsible for delivering the award directly to the winning contestant. Firelight Business Enterprises, Inc will not handle third party awards after announcing the winner. 6. You agree not to abuse the contact information of the winner, and to ONLY communicate with them in regard to the award, unless you have their express permission to engage in other communications. 7. You agree to comply with our privacy and confidentiality policies in regard to information about the contestants, and to not share any information about them with any other business entity unless it is necessary for the completion of award delivery. 8. Your award items must be unique. You cannot donate something that is already being provided by another donor. EXCEPTION: If you are sharing a 12 month commitment with other businesses, you would all donate the same item. 9. Your items must meet our "acceptable business and marketing philosophy" policy. No resale rights items, no redistributable items that you have not created yourself, and all informational items must be pre-screened by Firelight Business Enterprises for quality compliance. Coaching, training, or consulting services must meet our "business friendly" policy, and must not recommend classic internet marketing tactics which require deception in order to work. 10. Applicants are screened as specified, but award donors understand that no amount of screening can guarantee that an award is suitable for an award winner, and agree not to hold Firelight Business Enterprises, Inc. liable for any deception on the part of the applicants.
The door is wide open for donated services, products, instructional materials, etc. If you wish to donate, please use the contact form to email us with the following information: 1. Specific description (including image sizes or file types included). 2. Limitations including redemption time limits, scheduling limitations (for peak business times for you), etc. 3. Business name you want it under. 4. Website URL. Thanks! We look forward to sharing this means of giving back with you.
