Handling Checks and Cash Donations

Cash and Check Donations

Checks should be made out to: MMRF. Be sure to include the name of the event and the team member name on the check's memo line so that your donation will be recorded correctly. For Example: John Smith, New York City Marathon. Please note that all donors who pay by check will always receive a thank you letter documenting the tax deductible contribution for any donation over $25. Please utilize an MMRF Deposit Slip to assure that the checks are received in a manner that will expedite processing.

Cash donations should be converted to check form, since cash should not be sent directly in the mail. If a donor gives you cash, simply deposit it to your bank account and send a check from your account following the directions above. Include with your check a short note that tells us the name and address of the donor so that we can provide the thank you note documenting their tax deductible contribution to that donor.

Please send collected checks along with their respective MMRF Deposit Slips to:

Note: We will assume that all checks sent to the MMRF have already been added to your donation page by you when receive them.

Adding Check and Cash Donation Totals to Your Fundraising Page

Adding these cash and check donations to your fundraising page is easy. Simply log on to your Active.com account at www.activegiving.com. Once you log in, click on the "Campaign Center" button at the top of the page. Then, click on the "Track Offline Donations" tab. Here you can manually add the checks and cash donations that you have collected so that your total funds raised will be reflected on your personal donation page. Do not worry about entering addresses in this form. It is not necessary to include this information in order for the donations to appear on your page.
