How do non-profits raise funds?

Organizations invite their donors to give to the Community Foundation through the Run for the Money. Gifts can be accepted February 15 through April 25. Checks must be made payable to the Community Foundation, and all donations must be accompanied by a Donor Form.
Entry / Donor Forms will be available on February 15th at the Community Foundation office, our website, in the Gaston Gazette and at the Gaston Co. Public Library branches.
Get creative in letting the community know you are participating! You can use the Run for the Money 6 logo in your newsletter, postcards, etc., contact the Foundation to have it e-mailed to you.
Encourage friends, volunteers and donors of your organization to run or walk on behalf of your organization.
Runners that place in their age category in the 5K can designate their winnings to their favorite participating organization.
