I just want to give away some money!

Jeez, you would think that giving away money would be a more than easy task. It is proving frustratingly hard and I am confused as to why.

Run for Good Racing's whole idea is to produce awesomely fun running events while raising funds for local nonprofits. While planning for a couple of new events I have approached, and been rejected by three separate organizations to be the beneficiaries for these races. I am confused! Free money? Exposure for your cause? Access to new donors?

Are people and organizations so jaded that they think if they are a beneficiary there will be a catch? I think people are afraid of people doing good and don't quite know how to react to it anymore. Or maybe I am just confused.

So, anyone out there want some free money!?

  1. Hi Ilana, I'm a fellow runner, and the Vice President of a local non-profit that would love some free money!

    I'd actually thought about organizing a running event, but didn't have a clue where to start and whether I'd be able to find an audience. So I'd love to talk to you about this possibility.
