Member Agreements

Changes in organizational status

Members are required to notify Simply the Basics within 30 days of all changes, including but not limited to changes in 501c3 status, major program changes or closures, or any other major operational changes that differ from the Member application.

Use of Hygiene Bank Association Member logo & Badge

All active members are permitted to display the 'Simply the Basics Hygiene Bank Association Member" logo and badge on their website and in social media. The Logo may not be altered in any way, including changes to shape, color, size, or text. Use of the logo is only permitted when an active member. Members may not use any other Simply the Basics logos. Should your membership end, lapse, or be canceled for any reason, the logo must be removed at that time.

No monetary collections on Hygiene Locator

The Hygiene Locator™ is intended to further the access to hygiene and for making in-kind donations of hygiene, and is not a monetary fundraising platform. Organizations using the Hygiene Locator are not permitted to use the Hygiene Locator Map for monetary donations.

Reporting

All data and reports must be submitted by August 1st with accurate data. Data must be collected accurately from the start of Membership.

Program Updates

It is the responsibility of all Members to keep their information up to date, including but not limited to contact information and service information on the Hygiene Locator Map. 

All materials are the Property of Simply the Basics and cannot be copied, published, or disseminated

Any language, photos, documentation, tools, trainings or other documentation (including the general concept) found through the Hygiene Bank Association™ is the sole legal property of Simply the Basics and cannot be distributed or copied for any purposes.

Members must adhere to the Quality Control Standards at all times

As a member, you are expected to adhere to the quality standards set forth as an approved member. Any deviation from the standards will result in removal. If at any time, Simply the Basics determines that an organization is not meeting the values or quality control expectations of an approved Member, they may be removed at any time at the sole discretion of Simply the Basics.

Switching Membership Plans

If your organization would like to switch between membership plans, you may follow this brief video tutorial on how to make the change. Please note that switching to the Limited membership will be immediate and we are unable to provide refunds for annual dues already processed. If you decide to switch we recommend waiting until the end of your current billing period, to make the most of your current membership. Alternatively, if you switch to full membership, you will be able to make your first membership annual due and have immediate access to grant opportunities, hygiene product discounts, and the expert speaker series.

Cancellation

You may cancel your membership at any time. After cancellation, you will no longer have access to the Hygiene Bank Association portal effective immediately. Memberships may also be cancelled by Simply the Basics if members violate any of the above terms.

To the extent permitted by the applicable law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for any unused membership subscription periods or accidental purchases.
