How is
the Walk/Run a fundraising event?
In
addition to the primary objective of encouraging people to be
active, one of the other objectives of Walk/Runs is to help
financially support local charitable groups or organizations.
Participants generally obtain pledges prior to the event but this
varies from community to community. Some communities simply ask for
participants to give ‘what they can’.
Seventy five percent (75%) of funds raised go directly to the local
organization(s) of the participant’s choice; ten percent (10%) goes
to the local organizing committee to be used to off-set the expenses
of staging the event or it can be allocated to a local project of
the organizer’s choice; fifteen percent (15%) goes to the RFLF to
fund the development and operating costs of the Walk/Run at the
provincial level.
It is important to note that there are many different strategies and
methods of approaching the fundraising aspects of these Walk/Runs.
There is flexibility on how a particular municipality might want to
approach fundraising.
The RFLF
Coordinator can help you with these matters, if desired.
