IBG, INC. GENERAL

Q. What is IBG?

A. We are a national, tax exempt 501[c][3] charitable organisation. We serve as a fundraising facilitator for underfunded causes worldwide.

Q. What causes have you been involved with thus far?

A. To date, we have raised considerable funds for Neurofibromatosis, Inc., American Cancer Society, Off The Street Kids, UNICEF and the UCLA-Santa Monica Medical Center: Rape Treatment Center. We are presently working in partnership with Age of Stupid, an independent film profiling the dangers of global warming, and have been given ownership of their Los Angeles area events. In the next few months we will be holding an online celebrity auction for Children of the Night, a daytime television event for PKD Foundation, as well as serving on the host committee for The Relational Center's fall fundraiser.

Q. If I purchase a ticket to an IBG, Inc. event and am unable to attend, am I able to get a refund?

A. No. We have a very strict no-refund policy. Once you have paid for your ticket, we unfortunately cannot offer a refund or transfer the funds toward a future event. If you are unable to attend, we can certainly assist with providing you with paperwork necessary to write off the purchase as a donation. Occasionally we will make an event-specific exception, which you would be well aware of at the time of the purchase.

2nd ANNUAL "all things" GLOBAL FUNDRAISER

Q. Who is eligible to participate?

A. Participation is open to any fan of Gillian Anderson worldwide.

Q. How do I sign up to be a host?

A. Please go to the "all things" Global Fundraiser page to see if there is an event taking place in your area. If not, email us and we will be happy to start you on the process of hosting this fun and exciting day!!

Q. What if someone has already signed up to host an event in my city?

A. While you may still go forward with your own event, we strongly encourage fans within the same metropolitan area to join forces. If there is already an event being organised in your city, we suggest that you contact the host for more information on participating with them.

Q. What is the structure of the fundraiser?

A. Each group will have one [1] organiser, who is responsible for hosting the event and inviting fellow fans and friends. The structure of the event itself is simple. It opens with a viewing of Gillian Anderson's written/directed episode of The X-Files, “all things,” and then onto two [2] Gillian Anderson films of the host and/or group's choice. Every participant, the host and all guests, pays 10 USD each to participate. 100% of this will go to the TBA charity.

Q. May I do anything other than admission cost to raise more money during my event?

A. Additional funds may be raised throughout the course of the event through raffles, games, a collection hat, et cetera. Organisers may contact the IBG team for ideas, though are encouraged to use their creativity for additional fundraising methods during the event. 100% of any additional funds raised goes to the charity, as well.

Q. What do I do with the money collected after my fundraiser?

A. All groups are REQUIRED to send 100% of the funds raised to IBG, Inc. The money raised worldwide will go in one lump sum to the TBA charity on behalf of all participants. All contributors will receive due recognition in the event portfolio being sent to Ms. Anderson upon completion of all fundraisers. Each group will have a page with the group name, location, list of participants' names and the funds the team raised. Teams are encouraged to submit a group photo, as well.

Q. When do I need to have my fundraiser by?

A. ALL marathons must take place between 01st April, 2010 and 30th April, 2010. The event host must submit via PayPal the money raised at their marathon to IBG no more than three [3] days following their event. The cheque to the TBA charity will be sent out by the end of the first week of May 2010.

Q. Last year there was a prize given to the host and group that raised the most money. Will that be the case this year, as well?

A. Yes. The group that raises the most money will receive complimentary IBG teal rubber wristbands. The organiser of the leading group will receive a special gift.

Q. What percentage of the funds raised do I need to send to IBG?

A. 100% of the money each group raises through admission and additional activities is required to be sent to IBG, Inc. for inclusion in the mass donation. If you would like to host an event, please be prepared to organise on your own dime. [All you need is a living room and a DVD or Blu-Ray player!!] It is prohibited to take any percentage or cut of the money you raised to cover any costs incurred while organising. We will provide you with ideas to host a wonderful, effective event without too much personal expenditure. If the IBG team is to discover that an event host or team is anything less than forthcoming with the totality of funds raised, you will be immediately dismissed from the project.
