Get ready for the world’s largest generosity movement, GivingTuesday. This year on Tuesday November 29th, join the world in transforming communities by encouraging people to do good: make a donation, volunteer or by simply making someone smile.

Whether it’s helping your fundraising organizations flourish independently on our platform, customizing incentives and branding or engaging participants through personalized fundraising pages and leaderboards, Race Roster has the fundraising tools to help you do good and receive great on GivingTuesday.

How, you might ask? Check out some of our tools below!

1. Partner seamlessly with fundraising organizations

Independence for your fundraising organizations!

Provide secure access for your fundraising organizations to:

  • Personalize their fundraising page
  • Set-up tax receipting
  • View their donor information and analytics…and more!

Share the load.

Let us issue tax receipts on your organization’s behalf!

Showcase your fundraising organizations!

Display your fundraising organizations’ logos on your main event page, or create a drop-down menu of fundraising organizations for donors to select from.

Connect with meaning.

Use a combination of text, images and video to connect with potential donors about your organization and the work you do.

Strategize with metrics.

Get insights from our fundraising metrics dashboard to understand your active fundraisers, where donations are coming from and donation processing fee trends.

2. Engage participants & teams

Drive friendly competition!

Use our individual and team fundraising leaderboards to highlight your top fundraisers.

Get personal.

Let fundraisers connect with the cause by sharing their ‘why’ and customizing their page with personal photos!

Get sharing!

Participants can easily share their personal fundraising pages through a variety of social media platforms linked right from their personalized page!

Pre-templated email campaigns.

We have pre-crafted email templates to help get your participants engaged in personalizing their fundraising pages!

3. Customize & strategize

Motivate participants!

Create customized fundraising badges to celebrate your participants’ achievements and motivate them to reach the next milestone!

Automated incentive campaigns.

Use our email triggers to set-up automated celebrations of fundraising milestones. Take it one step further by embedding a promotional code from one of your sponsors when certain milestones are reached!

Set reasonable goals and give them meaning.

Give participant’s fundraising goals context. For example, if $100 provides 50 meals, try pre-setting your participants’ goals to reach that target!

Share everywhere!

Be sure to share your fundraising organization’s donation page link on all of your social media profiles and associated pages.

Race Roster

At our core, we are event organizers and athletes serving event organizers and athletes. Race Roster was founded by a group of friends with combined interests in running, technology, and event management. After organizing their own 10K in 2010, it was very apparent that the running industry was in dire need of better technology. Since May of 2012, Race Roster has partnered with over 4,000 organizers to grow, manage and execute on race day!
