Qual­i­fy­ing orga­ni­za­tions may par­tic­i­pate in Old Bil­l’s with a Fis­cal Spon­sor­ship for two years. Orga­ni­za­tions pro­vid­ing fis­cal spon­sor­ship for anoth­er orga­ni­za­tion or pro­gram inter­est­ed in par­tic­i­pat­ing in Old Bil­l’s must be a 501(c)(3) in good stand­ing, gov­ern­ment enti­ty, or faith-based orga­ni­za­tion and meet the eli­gi­bil­i­ty require­ments set forth in the Rules and Pro­ce­dures. For more infor­ma­tion regard­ing fis­cal spon­sors or being fis­cal­ly spon­sored, please review our Fis­cal Spon­sor­ship Guide­lines.

The match per­cent­age varies annu­al­ly and is based on the total amount of CoChal­lenger dol­lars raised and the total amount of des­ig­nat­ed con­tri­bu­tions. The first $30,000 of each nonprofit’s des­ig­nat­ed gifts are eli­gi­ble for match­ing, and in recent years, the match­ing grant on these gifts has been approx­i­mate­ly 50%. This means the match­ing grant for each non­prof­it is about $15,000, depend­ing on any giv­en year’s match per­cent­age. All eli­gi­ble par­tic­i­pat­ing orga­ni­za­tions receive the same per­cent of match­ing dol­lars on the first $30,000 in des­ig­nat­ed con­tri­bu­tions they raise.

Join us for Run Day on Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 6, 2025, at 9am at Jack­son Ele­men­tary School fields. Old Bill’s Fun Run includes an inter­ac­tive non­prof­it vil­lage with many booths high­light­ing par­tic­i­pat­ing non­prof­its, a 5K and 10K Run/​Walk as well as a high­ly com­pet­i­tive Dia­per Der­by. Win­ners of each race receive prize mon­ey to donate to their favorite non­prof­its. Thanks to the gen­eros­i­ty of our CoChal­lengers, it is free to run or walk in Old Bill’s. 

The Non­prof­it’s Guide to Old Bil­l’s is your one-stop-shop for key dates, social media hash­tag, mar­ket­ing tips and tricks, logos, booth infor­ma­tion, and more. 

Par­tic­i­pat­ing orga­ni­za­tions are encour­aged to use the Old Bill’s logo lead­ing up to and through­out the Giv­ing Sea­son. Down­load the logo files here and refer to the Old Bil­l’s Rules and Pro­ce­dures and Brand Guide for brand­ing and logo usage infor­ma­tion. Web ban­ners / dig­i­tal graph­ics are avail­able for down­load here. Con­tact Anne Bradley with any questions.

The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion pro­vides a secure web­page for your orga­ni­za­tion to view your Old Bill’s donations. 

Dur­ing Giv­ing Sea­son, your organization’s des­ig­nat­ed Old Bill’s con­tact will receive an email with your user ID, as well as guid­ance on review­ing dona­tions. The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion staff process­es gifts steadi­ly from the start of the Giv­ing Sea­son through mid-October. 

All gifts are reviewed pri­or to post­ing, includ­ing online dona­tions, which cre­ates a delay between gift receipt and when gifts are vis­i­ble. Note that almost ⅔ of dona­tions arrive in the last week of the Giv­ing Sea­son. Last year, the Foun­da­tion received over $1 mil­lion dol­lars in checks and over $300,000 in cred­it card gifts on the last day. You will be noti­fied when all gifts have been processed. We appre­ci­ate your patience!
