Each qualified 501(c)(3) organization may make one request per calendar year.

An approved request receives four single-day Park admissions.

The resort does not donate to: requests outside its criteria; sponsorships; individuals or families; labor or political organizations; high school or college programs; prizes, recognition, incentives or opportunity drawings; or organizations raising funds on behalf of another group or individual.

Submitting a request does not guarantee it will be fulfilled, and the resort may change its donation policies at any time.

Tips from the program page: Submit between six months and 60 days before your event. Requests outside that window are not considered. · You get one request per calendar year, so use it on the event where a family day at the Park will raise the most. · Describe how the money raised helps children ages 2–12. That is the main test the resort applies. · The resort says it cannot respond to every submission because of the volume it receives, so plan your event without counting on a reply.
