UKC® Policy for Benefit Events
Revised January 1, 2003

United Kennel Club, Inc. realizes the importance of supporting charitable organizations and will help any club that is hosting a benefit event to raise money for recognized charities. UKC will donate license fees, recording fees and a black and white quarter page ad in COONHOUND BLOODLINES magazine if the following procedures and guidelines are followed.

Note: the club is responsible for submitting the information for the complimentary quarter-page ad to the UKC Magazine Department by the appropriate magazine deadline. This is in addition to the information supplied to Coonhound Field Operations.

1. UKC must be notified at least 90 days prior to the event that the club is requesting the event to be a benefit. This policy is rigidly enforced. UKC will then send out a “Benefit Event Statement” form.

2. UKC must approve of the nationally recognized organization or charity that is to receive the proceeds.

3. No less than 75% of the total profit must be donated by the club to the charity.

4. The signed and completed Benefit Event Application must be received by United Kennel Club two months prior to the event by the first of that month.

5. After your benefit has been approved, your club will be sent a Benefit Event Financial Statement. This statement must be completed and signed after the event by the authorized recipient of the funds for the charity. This must be submitted to United Kennel Club WITHIN TWO WEEKS AFTER THE EVENT in order to receive the donated fees and advertisement.

6. The quarter page ad must be submitted to COONHOUND BLOODLINES by the club, in compliance with the appropriate deadline.

7. Clubs holding Annual Benefit Events must follow this procedure every year.
