More than 9,000 nonprofits raise money with GiveSignup | RunSignup for their fundraising run/walk/ride events.

Every year, our company seeks to give back to the endurance community through our Community Grant Program. This program allows anybody to nominate an endurance-related, nonprofit organization to receive a grant benefitting their cause. Since the beginning of this program, RunSignup has donated over $30,000 dollars to 15 organizations. Grant recipients are narrowed down to […]

Charity Access From your Profile, clink on My Charities. There is a new option to grant access to others to see reports […]
