Contributing Charity Application
Contributing charities within the Run for a Reason Charity Program are a crucial part of the giving community as they allow race participants to fundraise and raise awareness for many different causes. As a contributing charity, we will provide you with event branding that you can use in your communication and suggestions on where to create your fundraising page. When it comes to recruiting runners and fundraising, that part is left completely up to your organization!
There are no fees involved in participating as a contributing charity and you will not be held responsible for your runners' registration fees, as they will purchase their registrations on their own.
