Fundraising FAQs

Participants are required to pay a $40 registration fee, which includes their t-shirt, hat, and bib. In addition to the registration fee, below are the fundraising minimums for 2025:

• Milestones are a great way to encourage donors to help you achieve mini goals on the way to reaching your required fundraising amount, or even once you have surpassed your initial fundraising goal and want to reach a stretch goal (ex: When I raise $1000, I’ll dye my hair blue).
• Incentives are fun ways to encourage donors and reward them for their support. For example, you may be willing to do an over-the-top activity or give a reward for a certain donation level (ex: each $25 donation will receive a baked good or each $100 will receive a personalized video of me doing a cartwheel).

*Please note these incentives are separate from the ones given out by the Run to Home Base team for fundraising.

If you do not reach your fundraising minimum by 11:59:59pm EST on July 9, 2025, Home Base will charge your credit card the outstanding balance left towards your fundraising minimum.

Yes, all participants regardless of participating in-person or virtually will have their credit cards charged if they do not meet the fundraising minimum. As a virtual participant, if you want to receive your bib and t-shirt before race day, you must meet your fundraising commitment by the deadline on July 9, 2025 at 11:59:59pm EST. If you have a question or concern about your fundraising commitment, please email support@runtohomebase.org.

Matching gifts are a great way to double your donations! Keep in mind, most companies will only make matching gifts at certain times of year. Often, it is every month, quarter, bi-annually or annually. It is important to remember that matching gifts do not count toward your fundraising commitment until the matching check is received and processed. Be sure to start the matching gift process early! Please direct any questions to support@runtohomebase.org.

Yes! Donors who make an online donation will automatically receive an email acknowledging their tax-deductible donation for their records. Donors who send in a check will receive a letter acknowledging their donation. If someone gives you cash, you may place the sum towards your participation; however, we cannot offer a tax receipt.

If you experience any problems with your donation, please email support@runtohomebase.org with a detailed message including a description of the problem encountered and your contact information. Please include both a cell phone number and email address to ensure we can contact you efficiently.
