Rules of engagement...

This is a tradition I want to flourish and I'll do my best to help you create a Yogis Give Back event in your community. Here's a few guidelines that I use to keep it real. Thanks-- Stephen (email me)

1. Respect the spirit of giving. All donations should benefit a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. If any money goes to publicity or administration, please state that explicitly.

2 . Avoid self-promotion. It's important to give contributors their due and let folks know where to find yoga. At the same time, don't use a charitable event as an advertisement.

3. Be as inclusive as possible. I try to invite everyone.

4. Be sure to use proper oversight and procedures when handling money. I have someone from the beneficiary organization at the door collecting cash. All checks are made to the beneficiary. And online donations have been done through a secure nonprofit reservation system.
