Rule 5605

Rule 5605, established by the U.S. Federal Reserve, governs the use of the Federal Reserve Bank’s name and symbols in fundraising activities by non-profit organizations, particularly those affiliated with the Federal Reserve System. It prohibits these organizations from using the Federal Reserve’s name, emblem, or any related symbols in a way that might suggest official endorsement or approval unless authorized. The rule ensures that the Federal Reserve’s brand is not misused for fundraising or promotional purposes, maintaining the institution’s integrity and preventing confusion about its involvement in private or non-public activities.
