Does The Color Run donate money to charity?

To date, The Color Run has donated more than $5 million to charity since its founding in 2012.

Each charity’s needs are a little different, and as a result each of our charity partners ask for our help in different ways. Here are a few ways The Color Run helps raise funds for our charity partners:

1) Post Race Donation. This is where we make a financial donation to our charity partner. This set amount is determined in communication with the charity and depends on the level of involvement/volunteers provided by the charity.

2) Embedded Giving.We provide our runners the opportunity to add a donation that goes directly to the charity during the registration process. Our charities are constantly overwhelmed by the kindness of our Color Runners.

3) Charity Registrations. In some cities, we provide the partner charity a limited number of charity registrations. The charity sells these registrations through their own website and keeps 100% of the listed price of the registration.
