CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS

At Universal Orlando®, we are fortunate to have a wide array of resources to draw upon to support needs in our community. In addition to cash donations, we consistently contribute theme park tickets, food and beverages, merchandise, entertainment, video production, and the time and talents of our Team Members to local non-profit organizations. 

As a company we are committed to giving back to our community. Universal Orlando team members are equally  committed. Over the years, our team members have contributed millions of dollars to community agencies through the company’s annual Workplace Giving Campaign. In turn, these dollars help send seriously ill children to Camp Boggy Creek where they can forget they’re sick for a few days, provide the families of seriously ill children a weeklong vacation at Give Kids the World Village, provide much needed school supplies for area students through a Gift for Teaching, provide a renovated space at the Orlando Repertory Theatre for children’s theatre, fund organizations that support education through the Universal Orlando Foundation, help team members in need, and assist the many agencies supported by Heart of Florida United Way.

All requests for fundraising event sponsorships, theme park passes, character appearances, supply drives, and other support for charitable organizations should be submitted online to the Community Relations Department for review. Universal Orlando primarily considers requests submitted by approved non-profit organizations that fall under the company’s community relations focus areas of education, children, and families.

CHARITABLE GIVING PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES

All donation requests must be made online and only those submitted by approved non-profit organizations that fall under Universal Orlando's guidelines will be considered:

Requests must be received 6-8 weeks prior to the event date to be considered.


Please provide a description of your organization and your fundraising event (when, where, type, and name of event). Include organization contact information. Provide only the organization or legal address – we will not send donations to home addresses. We do not consider donating auction items for online bidding.


Donations are considered for charitable, non-profit organizations only. We are unable to consider donations that would benefit an individual or family and/or support events which are raising funds to benefit other organizations (businesses, service / civic groups, or other third parties).


We do not support incentive programs, reward programs, volunteer appreciation, or staff recognition events.


Sponsorships or donations for teams, contests, school graduation parties, tournaments, fairs, walk-a-thons, raffles/door prizes, holiday parties, award or recognition events, etc., are examples of requests that will not be considered.


For out-of-state consideration, please attach copies of confirmation that airfare and/or hotel accommodations have already been donated to your organization. This does not guarantee a donation, but it will provide documentation that passes will be part of an Orlando vacation package. We are unable to donate hotel accommodations or air fare. If your organization does receive a Universal Orlando donation, the package must be advertised as a Central Florida vacation package unless specific to Universal Orlando.


Requests for donation of passes for Universal Orlando special events, concerts, or any other special event will not be considered (i.e. Halloween Horror Nights, Rock the Universe).


If the data received online is complete and falls under our guidelines, we will review your request and provide a response in approximately 4-6 weeks. Due to the large amount of requests we receive, we are unable to provide a status of your request. Unfortunately, we cannot process late requests or accept requests via fax. You will receive notification as to your status via email or by letter. Please note that we receive far more requests than we are able to accommodate.


Requests that are approved will receive tickets 1-2 weeks prior to the event but are not guaranteed beyond that timeframe. Tickets are subject to expiration dates, are non-transferable, and may not be re-sold. Organizations which receive donations are responsible for any tax implications and all gift reporting.

Please note the above charitable giving procedures are subject to change.
