Marketing Guidelines While SOS Children’s Villages Namibia benefits from donations through partnerships, we do not engage in the sale or distribution of our partners' products. While we may publicly acknowledge our corporate partners, we cannot advertise or promote their products or services due to our non-profit status. To help raise awareness of our work, we ask that our partners include our website URL (www.sosnamibia.org.na) and related messaging in all promotional materials, press releases, and other outreach materials.
SOS Children’s Villages Namibia is happy to provide partners with suggested language for this purpose. For all marketing programs, we request that partners provide consumers with information about our work and how they can contact us for further details.
SOS Children’s Villages Namibia holds the rights to the SOS Children’s Villages Namibia name and logo. These are licensed trademarks, and written permission is required for their use. A written agreement must be made to outline how the company will use these licensed marks.
Cause-Related Marketing Use of the SOS Children’s Villages Namibia name and/or logo is strictly prohibited without a fully-executed contract. If you wish to contribute a percentage of product proceeds, please submit a sample to SOS Children’s Villages Namibia for review. We also accept drawings and/or photos for products still in development. In a commercial co-venture, a company must disclose to the public that a specified portion of proceeds will benefit a cause. SOS Children’s Villages Namibia cannot offer legal advice to organizations or companies conducting programs or promotions with us; we advise them to consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with registration requirements.
