COMMUNITY FUND ENTRY

Overview

IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund entry includes a chartable giveback component as part of your registration to provide athletes with the opportunity to Race For More when racing an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 event.

A portion of your entry is a charitable donation in support of The IRONMAN Foundation and is tax-deductible within the U.S. to the fullest extent allowed by law. IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund entries help to support and fuel our giveback in our race communities around the world.

To enhance the well-being of those in the communities where IRONMAN and Rock 'n' Roll Running Series events are held, the IRONMAN Foundation provides charitable support to a variety of local nonprofit organizations that recognize citizens in need and support the IRONMAN Foundation’s mission.

Register as an IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund Athlete using the IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3 race website. Approximately 50% of an IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund entry is a tax-deductible donation to the IRONMAN Foundation. A tax-deductible receipt will be emailed to you.

Your Community Fund entry supports the overall giveback across our race communities. Each year we giveback nearly $2 million distributed to more than 1,000 organizations, which is largely thanks to IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund and TEAM IMF Athletes!
