Promotional Partnership Requirements

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Room to Read promotional partner. Since we do have a limited ability to evaluate all the proposals we receive, we have listed below what we consider as our minimum criteria when considering a promotional partnership. Please review this list prior to contacting us. 

Please note that all promotional partners are required to sign a cause marketing agreement. Additionally, we ask all promotional partners commit to a $5,000 minimum donation to Room to Read. Thank you again for your support to Room to Read.

• The promotional partner has no potential to threaten Room to Read's 501(c)3 not-for-profit status.
• The promotional partner and/or their operating companies do not market controversial products or products that are counter to our mission.
• Room to Read will reserve the right of review and approval for all materials using Room to Read's brand, marks, name and logo.
