How to Host an Event
Hosting Details
If you are passionate about our mission, please join us! Creating an event is a fantastic way to let folks know, together, we can help others be Here Tomorrow. You can ask for donations, run a race, host a dinner party or workplace fundraiser, or even sell lemonade. Whatever you enjoy doing, it can be used to normalize the conversation about mental health.
What’s needed? (minimum qualifications)
You must register your event to help Here Tomorrow protect itself, as well as protect you. By registering your event, Here Tomorrow is able to keep in touch with you as an essential resource and also can help track your fundraising. Registering your event also allows you access to our toolkit containing items that will help you with your fundraisers, such as approved photos, videos, and press materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to raise money and get the word out?
Here Tomorrow has Classy, a platform available for you to register your event and obtain a donor page specific to your fundraiser that you may personalize and share with your friends, family and potential attendees. Directing attendees to donate via the link allows funds to come directly to Here Tomorrow without the inconvenience of having to personally manage donations. Utilizing social media to share your event information and link is a terrific way to get the news out about your event.
Will Here Tomorrow send me marketing materials, posters, etc.?
With a donation of $200.00 or more, yes.
How will Here Tomorrow support my event?
Feel free to share your event with our Facebook Community page, and be sure to tag us #HereTomorrow in all of your posts (across all social media platforms) related to the event. Note: Here Tomorrow must review all marketing/advertising for the event before anything is printed or distributed.
Can a Here Tomorrow team member, friend, or Peer attend my event?
Here Tomorrow is incredibly grateful to supporters who want nothing more than to help raise funds and awareness for our life-saving program. We would like to attend every event, but unfortunately it is not feasible. With our location in Neptune Beach, FL, we rely on event hosts to be our voice to help raise awareness and funds where we cannot. We evaluate a request for attendance on a case-by-case basis, and cannot guarantee the presence of a representative at your event.
*Should your event occur locally near one of Here Tomorrow’s primary business operation facilities, we may coordinate a Here Tomorrow information table operated by our volunteer ambassadors. Note: Please give at least a two-week notice for this request.
Can a business or individual sponsor my fundraiser to help cover costs?
Yes. Having a sponsor is a great way to offset your fundraising costs. Here Tomorrow can provide you with an event verification letter if requested, however, we cannot provide your sponsor with a tax receipt for their donation to your fundraiser. If you are not with a nonprofit organization that claims 501(c)(3) status, please do not promise a charitable tax receipt.
Can I use Here Tomorrow’s sales tax exemption to purchase materials for my event?
We are not legally permitted to provide our sales tax letter for third-party events.
Can I use Here Tomorrow’s 501(c)(3) federal tax identification number?
Your third-party event cannot use our charitable 501(c)(3) identification number. Donations that are made directly to Here Tomorrow will receive tax receipts.
Can Here Tomorrow send tax receipts to my donors?
We will send tax receipts to donors whose checks or online donations are made directly to Here Tomorrow. Should you choose to send us a combined check donation from your event and would like individual donors to receive tax receipts, we would need the details of who donated, the amount donated, and their contact information. By law, we can not issue a tax receipt to both you and your donor(s).
Do I need to create a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to host a fundraiser benefitting Here Tomorrow?
No. Anyone can host a fundraiser that benefits Here Tomorrow. We request that any fundraising event hosted by a third party contact our Director of Donor Relations, Nancy Weaver, to receive approval before getting started.
How do I cover expenses for my fundraiser?
We understand that fundraisers incur expenses, however, Here Tomorrow cannot fund or financially support community events. Community event organizers are responsible for covering all costs and will not be reimbursed by Here Tomorrow. For these reasons, as you start to collect money, you may want to retain some funds to help pay for your expenses. Please note that we cannot issue a tax receipt for donations made to your event that are covering your costs. If you are not with an organization that claims 501(c)(3) status, please do not promise a charitable tax receipt.
