Donations
How do I find a Fundraiser Event page created by someone I know? To search for a Fundraiser Event page, you can click here or click the “Donate” button at the top of the page. Then, in the dropdown menu, click “Find a Participant or Fundraiser.” Next, in the search bar, type the name of the event created by the person you know. (Note: If you do not see a page, the creator may not have made the page public, and you will need to get a direct link from them or search by the creator’s name.)
How do I find someone’s fundraising page? To search for a personal fundraising page, you can click here or click the “Donate” button at the top of the page. Then, in the dropdown menu, click “Find a Participant or Fundraiser.” Next, in the search bar, type the name of the person for whom a Fundraising Event page was created.
Can I donate in memory of honor of someone? Yes. While completing the donation form online, there is a section for their information.
How are individuals notified of a donation made in memory or honor of someone? If you select an electronic tribute card, we will email the card to the email address you provide. Our email may be directed to a Spam or Junk folder, so please ask the recipient to check this folder. If you select a mailed tribute card, we will send the card to the mailing address provided. Please note that the card may take 2–4 weeks to arrive due to postal delays.
What if someone does not want to make an online donation — can a check be written? Yes. Mail the check(s) to: 18 Volunteer Drive, Hendersonville, TN 37075. * Make checks payable to “The Jason Foundation.” If supporting a participant, or in memory or honor of someone, add their name in the memo or on a separate note.
Registration

Fundraising
How do I publish my page, and why should I publish it? Once you have created and saved your fundraiser page, click the “Publish Your Event” in yellow at the top of the page. If you do not publish your page, it will not appear in search results and can only be viewed by people you share the link with.
How do I update my profile picture? From your personal fundraising account page, select “Edit Profile” and browse, drag, and drop the photo you would like displayed as your profile picture.
Why are some donations not showing up on my fundraiser event page? This happens for a few reasons:
The supporter did not donate directly on your Fundraiser Event page, so it was linked to your personalized page. Contact us, and we can manually connect the donation if it was made within the Fundraise Your Way donation platform.
The supporter chose the option to remain anonymous or not to be listed.
What is the difference between my Personal Fundraising page and my Fundraising Event Page? The Personal Fundraising page is your main account page, where donations go directly to the cause as a general donation, and your personalized Fundraising Event page donations go toward your specific fundraiser you created for the cause.
How do I share my Fundraising Event page by email, text or social media? From the “Create Your Own Fundraising Event Page” under your navigation panel, copy the blue link and send it via text, email, or social media. Suggested text for sharing your fundraising page can be found under “Sample Messaging” in the Fundraising tab.
