Selection Policies:
To be eligible, the tragedy that has occurred must create an immediate need that its victim cannot fulfill without outside help. The tragic event must have had a profound effect on the everyday life of the recipient, and there must be a solution that FCF can provide in order to immediately impact the recipient’s life in a positive way.
The recipient must be at least 18 years of age and be willing to sign a release that will allow FNC to use their picture or likeness in video and print. The recipient must also be willing to agree to four follow up interviews to be conducted quarterly for the four quarters following his or her award and do a follow up story for our media partners and our website.
Selection Procedure:
We will find prospective recipients through partnerships within the local media, both television and print. Seven days before a scheduled event we will request our media contacts identify an eligible family or individual that we could assist through our fund raising events. Five days prior to the event, a description of the tragedy and the potential beneficiaries” immediate needs will be completed along with the necessary releases executed by all three potential beneficiaries.
Four days before the event, an email will go out to all Fanatical Change members and affiliates with a bio of each individual or family and a description of the recent tragedy they have endured. Members and affiliates will respond by casting electronic votes, deciding which potential beneficiaries will receive benefit from FCF.
On the day before the event at 10am, voting will be closed and all the votes will be counted and the beneficiary identified. On the fifth day we will have our fundraising event for the individual that everyone voted for.
