Multicultural Family Center Board is requesting approval from the City for their proposal.
The proposal submitted was unanimously agreed to by the Board at their most recent

The proposal outlines rooms and areas to be named along with the naming rights for a

MULTICULTURAL FAMILY CENTER
NAMING RECOGNITION PROPOSAL
January 2023
Introduction
The MFC Board proposes to offer local organizations and individuals the ability to sponsor
one or more of eight areas in the remodeled Center:
• Computer Lab
• Fireplace Area
• Any of Four Conference/Classrooms
• Kitchen/food Preparation area
• Large Common Area
The partnership agreement between the City and the MFC Board acknowledges that the
building, staff, and infrastructure are the City's responsibility, and the Board is responsible for
all programming. Unlike bricks and mortar elements of the Center, programming changes over
time as improvements are made, needs evolve, and personnel come and go. Consistent with this
feature of Center programming, sponsorships of program spaces will last for five years, at which
time they may be renewed.
Naming Provisions
Implementation of this policy will follow the City's "Fundraising and Naming Recognition
Policy for Major Capital Projects on City Lands or Under City Jurisdiction" (5/9/17), with
these exceptions:
• Donor recognition will be displayed at the sponsored site rather than in a "donor
recognition area" (subheading #2).
• The sponsorship will last for five years rather than for "the life of the amenity"
(subheading 5).
The MFC Board will benefit from Naming by
• Raising up to $90,000 for program development,
• Enhancing relationships with supportive organizations and individuals in the community,
• Connecting with potential Board members,
• Maintaining the fund-raising flexibility that permanent sponsorship would limit.
The naming_ organization or individual will benefit bX
• Having their name and logo associated publicly with the MFC and its mission to "build
unity from diversity through equity and inclusion."
• Enhanced opportunities to connect with underrepresented and underserved populations
present at the MFC.
• Having a professionally designed, customized plaque prominently displayed at the
sponsored area, (e.g., see display below)
• Receiving the benefits of partnering with the MFC, including
o Recognition on the sponsorship page of the MFC website and its social media
sites.
o The ability to schedule the named space for up to five, e. g.,
■ H.R. training events related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
■ Hiring fairs
■ Activities supporting MFC programming.
o Guaranteed receipt of notices of all MFC programming,
o Access to potential membership on the MFC Board.
Financial Model
• Naming of the computer lab, fireplace area, a conference/classroom, or the kitchen area is
priced at $10,000 each for five years.
• Naming of the Large Common Area is $20,000 for five years.
• Funds received will be placed in a "naming" account designated for MFC programming.
Naming Marketing
• These opportunities will be offered to companies within the Dubuque area and
individuals who have previously donated to the MFC.
• Individuals and organizations who attend the MFC Grand Opening will also be informed
of this opportunity
• MFC board leadership will consult with the GDCC, CFGD, city Council, and
development officers from UD, Clarke, and Loras for additional suggested supporters.
• MFC social media and websites will announce the availability of naming opportunities.

Fundraising and Naming Recognition Policy THE C
For Major Capital Projects DUUB-*FE
on City Lands or Under City Jurisdiction
Masterpiece on the Mississippi
The City recognizes the enormous value of direct community support. The purpose of
this policy is to fairly and equitably recognize the generous contributions of donors to
capital projects constructed by the city as well as non -profits and organizations on city
lands or under city jurisdiction. The intent is to insure that philanthropic traditions are
fostered, that donors are treated consistently and fairly and that the contributions are
recognized in ways that support the city and its values.
Each project will outline specific naming opportunities to the appropriate city department
staff for review. The naming opportunities and levels will be presented and approved by
the City Council. This policy serves as the parameters of fundraising and naming to be
used by the City as well as non -profits and organizations with major capital projects on
city lands and/or under city jurisdiction. Special requests not addressed in this policy
will be considered through the approval process.
Naming Levels and Naming Amenities
Naming levels and naming of amenities will be proposed by the non-profit or
organization working on a major capital project on city lands or under city jurisdiction.
The proposal will be reviewed and must be approved by the City Council.
Donor Recognition Area
If a project has a donor recognition area proposed for listing donations in one place at
the site, the design of the donor recognition area must be approved by the City Council.
The City commits to maintain the donor recognition area for the life of the recognition
area. At end of life the recognition area will be removed.
Naming Conventions
Names that are discriminatory or derogatory will not be considered. If a name is
determined to be inappropriate, incorrect or offensive a process to identify an alternate
name will be required.
Naming shall generally be by first and last name, business or non-profit name, unless
another form is specifically requested by the donor and approved by City Council.
5-9-17
Naming Commitment
Each donor or donor representative must sign a letter of agreement that clearly defines
the terms and conditions of the donation. It will be signed by the donor and a city or
organization representative. Organizations would provide all signed agreements to the
City upon completion of the project. The agreement will outline the donation and length
of time for naming right.
Length of Time for Naming Right
Naming shall last for the life of the amenity, until such time that the amenity needs to be
replaced or reconstructed through normal wear and tear.
Process for Handling Name Change
The City at its sole discretion, upon request by the donor, may make a one-time change
to the name credited on a plaque or donor area provided there is a substantive reason
for the change and the donor pays all costs associated with the name change including
staff time. It is possible that the change may not be able to happen due to the donor
recognition design. The name change would need to be approved by the City Council.
Revoking Names in Certain Situations
In certain circumstances, the City reserves the right to revoke and terminate its
obligations regarding a naming with no financial responsibility for returning any received
contributions to the benefactor. These actions, and the circumstances that prompt
them, may apply to an approved naming that has not yet been acted upon or to a
conferred naming.
A. If the benefactor's or honoree's reputation changes substantially so that the
continued use of that name may compromise the public trust or otherwise be
contrary to the best interest of the City, the naming may be revoked. However,
caution must be taken when, with the passage of time, the standards and
achievements deemed to justify a naming action may change and observers of a
later age may deem those who have conferred a naming honor at an earlier age
to have erred. Naming should not be altered simply because later observers
would have made different judgements;
B. If the benefactor fails to maintain payments on a pledge upon with the naming
was bestowed, the name may be revoked;
C. If a planned gift upon which the naming was bestowed does not result in the
value agreed upon, the naming may be revoked.
