1. In order to participate in the Janus Charity Challenge you must already be registered in one of the Ironman U.S.A. races listed below.
2. The first step of the registration process is to fax a copy of the nonprofit’s IRS 501(c)3 determination letter to the Janus Charity Challenge at 303-336-4630, or email a PDF to januscharitychallenge@janus.com. All nonprofits must have confirmed 501c3 status (not pending) to be eligible for this program and this paperwork must be received before registering on line and prior to beginning your fundraising. Failure to submit the proper paperwork may result in the deletion of your fundraising site.
3. You must register by using the links at the bottom of this page. Select the link for the Ironman race you are participating in. This link will take you to the registration page. Do not try to register directly through an existing Kintera account.
4. All athletes must confirm you have read, understand and will adhere to all Janus Charity Challenge requirements.
5. Enter your personal contact information followed by your beneficiary’s information. To do this, you will need:
· Beneficiary name, address, phone and fax number
· Primary contact person and email address
· Federal tax ID number
DO NOT ENTER ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFO IN PLACE OF THE BENEFICIARIES CONTACT INFO. DOING SO WILL DISQUALIFY YOUR NONPROFIT FROM RECEIVING AN ADDITIONAL DONATION FROM JANUS.
If any of your nonprofit’s contact information should change prior to the race, it is imperative that you return to your Fundraising Center and update this information to ensure that your donations get sent to the appropriate place. Also, if your personal contact information should change, please do the same.
6. After your beneficiary information is entered, create your username and password. You are now ready to create your personal fundraising page. It is easiest to complete the entire process all at once. Once your fundraising pages are set up, you can make edits and update your account by clicking on the following links and logging in to your Fundraising Center here.
7. Track all offline contributions by entering them through your Fundraising Center. Otherwise, you must submit an offline donation form at the race to complete your registration. Please use the Donation Tracking Form we have provided under the Fundraising Tools tab or on your own spreadsheet to track these contributions if you choose to go this route.
8. Complete your registration by stopping at the Janus booth at the Ironman Expo NO LATER than 2:00 PM (or the close of the Athlete Village, whichever is earliest) the day prior to the race. Participating athletes must check-in in person. At this time you must confirm the final dollar amount raised for your charity and submit your offline donation form if necessary for all contributions and pledges made outside of Kintera.
