Make a donation

Run Free Foundation’s goal is to make the most of each donation. Every dollar will make a huge difference to our runners, who may not have the financial means to run their goal race. We want to help them achieve their goals with your help.

We have three options for donations. We want to make sure the money you donate goes to that cause. All donations are tax-deductible. Run Free Foundation is an Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501(c)(3) organization, and donations are deductible under IRC Section 170.

RFF Runner Scholarship

100% of Runner Donations go directly to supporting runners.  This will help with food, lodging, and travel expenses, which often limit participation for runners with financial challenges.

Nonprofit Operational Expenses

This includes insurance, website maintenance, attendance at running conferences (i.e., TrailCon), etc.  No donations will personally benefit Run Free Foundation Board Members.

Small Endurance Event Scholarship

These donations will help fund scholarships for small endurance races that don't receive the support or opportunities of a well-known race.  We want to help keep these races alive.  They are the heart and soul of the trail community.
