After You’ve Been Accepted

I was at a casino and my organization didn’t appear on the machines, even though I know we are part of the program. Why isn’t it there?

There is limited space on the machines and not every nonprofit partner can be on every machine all the time. We have a process of rotating the organizations that guarantees equal time for every partner.

In addition, we work with national and local organizations. Local organizations only appear on machines in that geographical area (i.e. an organization that provides services locally in Florida will only appear on machines in that general area of Florida).

We love being part of the program. How do we increase the amount we receive in donations?

The more you promote your organization’s participation in the program, the more support you receive from donors. Add our logo and link to your website. Include an article about Casinos Care® in your next newsletter. Send an email blast to supporters announcing your inclusion in the program.
