Can I use social media to fundraise in Kentucky? What are the requirements?

Fundraising through Social Media in Kentucky

Yes, you can use social media to fundraise in Kentucky. However, there are certain requirements that you need to follow.

According to the Governor of Kentucky, when using social media for fundraising, you should be skeptical of social media ads and charities with similar sounding names or concepts. You should also make sure that the website or mailing address you are sending your donation to is the correct, legitimate charity [2].

Additionally, if you are fundraising for a campaign, receipts from the proceeds of sales are considered contributions. The entire purchase price is a contribution to the campaign. Your campaign will need to keep track of these contributions and report them accordingly [4].

Furthermore, if you receive a grant from the Kentucky Arts Council, you must clearly acknowledge support from the Kentucky Arts Council in your promotional material including publications, websites, social media, etc. Such acknowledgement should clearly indicate that funds were provided for artistic excellence and merit [5].

In summary, while you can use social media to fundraise in Kentucky, you must be cautious of scams and ensure that you follow the reporting requirements for any contributions received. If you receive a grant from the Kentucky Arts Council, you must also acknowledge their support in your promotional material.
