EDITORIAL POLICY Grandparents.com does not accept financial incentives in exchange for favorable reviews. If we write favorably about something, it’s because we think it’s a good product or idea. We did not receive any money to do so. Our editors have complete freedom to choose the things that they want to cover, and those they do not. Our editors and writers decide what they want to write about solely based on the promise of delivering the latest and greatest when it comes to all things relating to grandparents and grandchildren. They are free to cover any products and services they like, provided they meet that one guiding principle. Once our editors make these decisions and choose to run a particular item, our business development team may contact the company providing that service to create an affiliate relationship with them. Through such relationships, the provider may pay Grandparents.com an affiliate fee for putting a link on our website to their website. Not only does this provide our users with an easy, one-click means to purchase much sought after items, but it also allows Grandparents.com to generate revenues essential to sustaining our businesses. As a well-informed consumer, we know that you understand that Grandparents.com needs to generate revenue if it is to continue providing high quality information. These affiliate relationships are one way we generate such revenue. In addition to affiliate relationships, Grandparents.com will accept advertising from appropriate companies for which it receives payments. Advertisements will be clearly marked as advertisements. As a member of our community, we will endeavor to ensure that there is absolutely no confusion as to the source of anything on our site. ACTIVITIES & EVENTS The Activities & Events section lists options as varied as our community. Each activity goes through an assessment by our in-house editors and local tipsters and is rated on a grandparent-grandchild "friendliness" scale. We account for educational value, entertainment value, and whether an activity is interesting and novel, or time tested and unavoidably classic. We also try to balance high-energy experiences, such as rock-climbing and mountain biking, with more low-key offerings, such as theater and sporting events. We have tipsters all over the country whose job is to be our eyes and ears to what's happening in their city. They're on top of the grandparent-grandchild scene on a daily basis, and as such, we update our lists regularly. Starting soon, we'll be including a monthly round-up of our top five special events in each city. We also encourage visitors to Grandparents.com to share their favorite local activities and events with us.
