I know this thread has been dormant for a little bit, but I know my fellow Illini will point me in the right direction. Ignore the post count. I think this is my 3rd-4th account because I forget logins. I have been Illini_in_KS, Katzisatool (my most prolific user name) and a few others. Obviously this name is in homage to my favorite Illini of all time.
For further cred, I know it was NOT over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, the Bruce Weber dancing gif is possibly the funniest gif on this site, I in fact DO KNOW who IDKWTI…. is, and last but not least Loyalty after dark is pure gold and that most great news should be here by the EOW.
Having established some credibility, , I have a few NIL questions. I do not want to rehash conversations and waste people’s time, and…. in full disclosure, I do not want to read through this entire thread.
I am the Executive Director of a Non-Profit. We are in the social services/education field, not that that is hugely relevant, but just for context. I am curious about some of the things that we do on a fundraising side of things.
So let me give a quick scenario and if someone would like to private message me that would be great.
We are in a merchandise phase of fundraising. Currently, we are targeting those people that can give $20, $25, up to $100 or so donations. We have quite a few of our big $ donors, for those who are familiar with fundraising pyramids. Anyway, can an Illini athlete post on social media, endorsing and driving traffic to a business asking them to purchase a product (that falls within the acceptable parameters), and then give a promo code that lets the business know where the business originated (athlete) from, thus allowing the business to then a set $ amount per item sold or a set % (say 10%) of dollar amount purchased, etc?
I am a natural story teller as you can tell. Lots of words but here is the gist—- Athlete posts on Social Media “Hey everyone, go check out (company x)!!! Support a great cause by purchasing (product X)!!! Please use the promo code (Athlete Name TN) so they know who sent you!!!”
Can they do that? I come here because I know we have a lot of very, very, very smart people on here, especially in the area of law. I don’t want to sit on the phone explaining my thoughts to someone who may not have any clue what i am talking about. So I came here.
