Standard 19 (Cause Related Marketing)
Clearly disclose how the charity benefits from the sale of products or services (i.e., cause-related marketing) that state or imply that a charity will benefit from a consumer sale or transaction.

NCSBS does not this Standard because, in the past year the organization particpated in a promotion for the sale of consumer goods or services that indicated that the organization would benefit from these purchases. The promotion, however, did not specify:
- The actual or anticpated amount of the purchase price that will benefit the organization.
