Your donation to a Climate Ride or Green Fondo participant allows them to deepen their advocacy, raise awareness of green issues, and provides crucial funding for Climate Ride’s grant programs.
Donors can support participants using our online software (either right from your page or by searching for your name here). Participants – ideally, you’ll send donors directly to your fundraising page so they can read about your inspiration for participating!
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) or Donations By Mail: Please use our Donation by Mail form.
Climate Ride and Green Fondo events are produced by Climate Ride (Tax ID # 27-1777457), a nonprofit, public benefit corporation recognized as tax-exempt under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3).

A great way to multiply the impact of your donors’ support is to encourage donors to see if their company matches gifts. As long as the matching gift comes in by the end of year fundraising deadline (December first of the year you participate), it counts toward your goal. Matching donations are often processed quarterly by companies, so if you want to take advantage of matching donations to get to your fundraising minimum, be sure to start early! If you’re counting on a match and waiting for it to meet your minimum, but it may not come until after the event, please reach out to us as soon as you can.
The process for your donors is pretty simple: First, they’ll make a donation to a participant or to the Climate Ride Annual Fund. Then, they can search for their company above or contact their company’s HR department to begin the matching process. Be sure to note how often the company sends out matches – some only do it annually, while others do it quarterly. You’ll also want to ask your donor to include your full name with the match, as it appears on your Climate Ride Profile. Once the match arrives in the Climate Ride office, we’ll post it right to your fundraising page.
