Donate To the Annual Fund
Your contributions drive our shared vision for a healthy planet. Climate Ride is dedicated to using your donations to help build a sustainable world. When you donate support our work, you’re directly helping to foster a greener tomorrow.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) or Donations By Mail
Donors can select to pay directly from their Donor-Advised Fund through your fundraising page! Alternatively, they can access the donor-advised fund’s online portal and request a donation from their account. Please be sure to include the name of the participant the donation supports. Please note: DAF donations cannot be used to cover the hard costs of your event. Please reach out to your participant manager to confirm the amount you should request.
If you would like to make a donation by check, please use our Donation by Mail form.
Matching Donations
A great way to multiply the impact of your donors’ support is to encourage donors to see if their employer matches charitable giving. As long as the matching gift comes in before the fundraising for your ride closes (December 1st of the year you participate for most events; end of June 30th for Green Fondos that happen before July), 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 to meet your minimum and it’s looking like it may not come until after the event, please reach out to us as soon as you can.
The process is pretty simple: First, a donor makes a donation to a participant or to the Climate Ride Annual Fund. Then, they can 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.
Here is the information you will typically need for your company’s matching donation form:

Mailing Address: 111 N. Higgins Ave. Suite 415, Missoula, MT 59802
