Involve Your Organization Partnering

Partnering or Sponsoring of a local LEAVE A LEGACY™ program usually involves the financial sponsorship or in-kind sponsorship of an event or local materials. The sponsorship financial level(s) are decided by the local committee. LEAVE A LEGACY™ and CAGP-ACPDP™ encourages Partners to be members of the CAGP-ACPDP™. However, local LEAVE A LEGACY™ Committees may have their own policy regarding partnering.

A benefit of partnering is the use of the LEAVE A LEGACY™ logo. Partners must sign a partner license agreement with their local LEAVE A LEGACY™ program to enable them to use the logos.

The Partner License Agreement is for submission to the National Office. This agreement is to be signed and completed by the interested partner/organization and the the local LEAVE A LEGACY™ Program Chair.

To partner with a local LEAVE A LEGACY™ Committee you will have to contact the chair of the LEAVE A LEGACY™ Committee you wish to partner with. As each committee is adapted and unique to their community the process of partnering might vary. Some committees require a partnering fee or sponsorship fee and the fee varies based on the awareness activities of the local program.
