For the runners

What is this all about?

Sdelai offers everyone a chance to become a charity fundraiser. A fundraiser is a person who undertakes a certain activity in order to raise donations in support of a good cause or for charity.

What’s in it for me? How is my race connected to charity?

We believe that dreams can come true. We believe dreams can come true. We all need to have dreams, train, participate, achieve and succeed. We can also help others along the way by spreading hope to those who have none left.

You race or challenge deserves attention and respect, and you can use this to make a difference. If you run for charity you can achieve more than just your personal sporting best. Use our platform to create a fundraising campaign on the back of your event and you can raise donations for charity you would like to support.

My event registration fee already includes a donation, isn’t it the same thing?

True, more and more public sporting events already collect donations on behalf of their partner charities during registration. However, these donations are limited only to those who are taking part in the event.

Your fundraising page on Sdelai means that your family, friends and colleagues can all support you in your race and fundraising effort by making a donation.

If just one friend donated the same amount as the runner the amount raised would double. Imagine what happens if every runner gets support not from one but from 5, 10, 20 friends on Facebook or VK? As they say, the sky is the limit.

A fundraiser is anyone who makes it his or her task to seek financial support for a charity or cause on our platform.

What is a fundraising campaign?

Campaign is a page created on the Sdelai platform where you describe the event in which you are taking part and the cause or charity you have chosen to support.

Campaign is a page created on the Sdelai platform where you describe the event in which you are taking part and the cause or charity you have chosen to support. This should be realistic to encourage people to donate. Once you have created the page, you can post the link to it on your social media and begin fundraising.

How do I create a fundraising page?

The key to a successful campaign is your story. Tell your supporters why you chose this particular charity or cause, what it means to you, what you are going to do, e.g. run in a race. Include a photo of yourself or the people you are helping.

How do I donate? My friend sent me a link to their fundraising page, what’s next?

Everyone you tell about your fundraising campaign - your family members, friends, partners, colleagues, as well as their friends and families who might find your story so appealing they will also decide to donate.

Please remember that at the beginning of your campaign you are more likely to get support from the people nearest to you so make sure they all know about your fundraising efforts.

How does this work?

Visit our site and fill in a form about your campaign.

Create a page that will have all information, including your story, financial target and other news in one place. Post a link to your page on your social media or email it to your contacts, tell your friends and colleagues about it. Ask them to support you both by re-posting the link and by donating to your cause.

A visitor to your page can:

read a description and the news of your campaign, see the photos, your financial target, a list of donors who have already contributed to your cause
make a donation with just one click and leave you a message. If preferred, this can be done anonymously.

All money raised on your page will be re-directed to your chosen charity at the end of each calendar month regardless of whether you have reached your goal, your campaign has finished or is still ongoing. For more information about the relationship between Sdelai and charities click here.
