You agree to publicize your relationship with Foundation in all appropriate media, including your annual report, website, newsletters, press releases and email communications, and to use the Foundation logos and trademarks, including Colorado Gives Foundation when doing so.

You understand that you are solely responsible for reviewing and approving fundraising pages created through the Website for your support and that Foundation has no responsibility for the content of such pages.
You understand that the Website is a tool to allow donors to donate to charities on their own initiative and that it is not intended as a vehicle to facilitate gifts that you have already solicited through other means (e.g., telethon, in person donation events, etc.).
You agree that Foundation may identify and publicize a Registered Charity by name and any online donation results related to a Registered Charity in various promotional materials in any format whatsoever, in its sole discretion.
