Can anyone
run for charity? |
Anyone who is registered to run or volunteer at the ING Hartford Marathon, Team Relay, Half Marathon, Race Walk or 5K can elect to run for charity. |
| What charities can I support? |
We encourage you to choose one of ING Hartford Marathon's Official Charities.
| Can I support a charity that is not listed? |
Yes, you can run on behalf of any charity registered as a 501(C)(3) with the IRS and you have confirmed your charity's eligibility with the race office of the ING Hartford Marathon. To confirm, please email Beth Shluger at beth@
hartfordmarathon.com
| Charity Village on Race Day |
Charity Village is a private pre-race area with separate portalets, refreshments and more hosted by the Official Charities. If you are running for one of our official charities, check with them about their race day hospitality.
There are two categories of donations - online and offline.
-
ONLINE - Donations pledged online are collected directly through your web page on Active Giving, using a credit card. Active Giving forwards the funds directly to the charity and notifies the Marathon Office of the donation.
-
OFFLINE - Money collected directly by you in the form of checks is mailed or delivered directly to the Hartford Marathon Foundation, 41 Sequin Drive, Glastonbury, CT 06033. Checks should be made out to your chosen charity.
The Hartford Marathon Foundation will forward checks to your charity.
| How do I start my page on ActiveGiving.com? |
- If you are registered by paper for an ING Hartford Marathon event and want to fundraise, use the ActiveGving.com link of your choice to sign-in.
- If you have already registered and answered "no" to the fundraising question, use the ActiveGving.com link of your choice to sign-in. Next, click on "Become a Fundraiser" located in the blue bar at the top of the page.
- If you have not registered and plan on registering online, you will be asked a question about fundraising at the end of the registration process - answer "yes" and you will be automatically linked to ActiveGiving.com after checking out.
| How do I use my personal fundraising page on ActiveGiving.com? |
Our ActiveGving Help Document (809k PDF) shows you how to Get Started, Send Emails, Manage Address Book, Create/Edit Templates and View Reports in easy to follow steps.
How do I let my friends and family know
I am running for charity? |
The easiest way is to set up a personal web page after you complete the online registration process to sign-up for an event. It is easy, secure and personal - you can find everything you need to get you started at Active Giving.
| I am raising funds directly through the charity’s fundraising pages or some other electronic means other than activegiving.com. Does it matter? |
No, it does not matter. We only ask that you report your fundraising totals to the race office. Please email Beth Shluger with your results. beth@hartfordmarathon.com
