Logo Protection & Non-Disparagement Policy

The Walker Foundation retains all rights, ownership, and interest in its official logo, name, brand identity, program names, slogans, graphics, promotional materials, and other intellectual property.

Permission to participate, volunteer, work, partner, sponsor, contract, or collaborate with The Walker Foundation does not transfer ownership or grant permanent rights to use the Foundation’s logo or brand.

No individual, volunteer, contractor, vendor, sponsor, partner, employee, former team member, organization, or third party may use The Walker Foundation logo without authorization.

The logo may not be:

• Altered, redrawn, recreated, distorted, recolored, or modified without written approval.
• Removed from official Foundation materials and replaced with another organization’s branding without authorization.
• Used to imply an endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, affiliation, or approval that does not exist.
• Used for personal business, fundraising, merchandise, advertising, websites, social media pages, events, or promotional materials without permission.
• Copied or incorporated into another organization’s logo or brand identity.
• Sold, licensed, transferred, or provided to another party without authorization.

No person or organization may represent themselves as an official representative, employee, agent, division, program, or affiliate of The Walker Foundation unless specifically authorized to do so.

Authorization to use the Foundation logo for one event, program, campaign, or project does not constitute authorization for any future use.

Individuals representing or working with The Walker Foundation shall not knowingly make false, defamatory, malicious, or intentionally misleading statements regarding The Walker Foundation, its programs, leadership, children and families served, sponsors, partners, volunteers, or authorized representatives.

The Walker Foundation logo shall not be displayed alongside material that is discriminatory, hateful, defamatory, sexually explicit, fraudulent, unlawful, threatening, or otherwise inconsistent with the Foundation’s mission and standards.

Upon the conclusion or termination of a partnership, volunteer assignment, employment relationship, contract, sponsorship, vendor relationship, or other affiliation, authorization to use The Walker Foundation logo immediately ends unless otherwise approved in writing.

The individual or organization must discontinue unauthorized use of the Foundation’s logo and branding on newly distributed materials, websites, social media, advertisements, merchandise, and promotional content.

No individual or organization may establish a website, social media account, digital page, email address, domain name, application, or online profile using The Walker Foundation’s name or logo in a manner that suggests it is an official Foundation account without written authorization.

Passwords, original logo files, design files, brand assets, and administrative access provided for Foundation business remain the property of The Walker Foundation and must be returned or transferred when requested.

The Walker Foundation reserves the right to request the immediate removal or discontinuation of any unauthorized reproduction, publication, display, distribution, sale, or use of its logo or other protected branding.

Where appropriate, the Foundation may pursue remedies available under applicable trademark, copyright, contract, or other law.

By going on, accessing, viewing, following, interacting with, or using The Walker Foundation’s official website and social media platforms, individuals acknowledge that The Walker Foundation’s name, logo, branding, graphics, photographs, videos, program names, designs, and other original content are the property of The Walker Foundation or are used with appropriate permission.

Accessing our website or social media platforms does not grant permission to copy, reproduce, alter, modify, remove, distribute, sell, impersonate, or use The Walker Foundation logo or branding for personal, commercial, organizational, or promotional purposes without prior written authorization from The Walker Foundation.
