CHARITY & FUNDRAISING EVENTS
Every finisher crossed the line for a cause.Their feedback should count too.
Invite every finisher for a verified review. On Free, your cap stops at 49. Charity fields are bigger than that. Keep RunSignup, Race Roster, or whatever you use. We add verified reviews on top.

NONPROFIT INVITE PROGRAM
For cause events with big fields
Charity runs, memorial rides, and community fundraisers often have hundreds or thousands of finishers. That is well past a Free plan's invite cap. Once support turns on nonprofit mode on your claimed event, invites from that event skip the annual cap.
No separate nonprofit subscription. Your normal plan stays. Only that event's invites are exempt from the cap.
Cause events lose the story when proof stops at your top donors
Sponsors and boards want impact numbers. Three quotes from your inner circle do not tell you what hundreds of finishers actually felt on course.
You hit the Free invite cap before the back of the pack gets asked.
Board decks recycle the same three quotes while Reddit and local groups carry the real talk.
Next year's grant or sponsor renewal wants data, not another stock photo of a finish line.
Volunteer committees burn out chasing one-off survey links that never match your registration list.
Your cause is bigger than 49 invites. Your proof should be too.
Where finishers already talk
Cause events get discussed in community threads long before anyone emails you. Verified reviews give you on-record quotes in the language athletes actually use.
Team & club chats
Training partners compare courses and logistics in WhatsApp. Sponsors want that on record, not buried in a group chat.
Peer to peer
First-timers ask friends which charity event is worth the fundraising minimum. Public reviews answer that at scale.
THE CAP GAP
Plans cap invites. Charity fields do not.
On Free, Starter, and Pro, review invites count toward your annual cap. For verified nonprofit events, invites from that event do not. You can reach every finisher.
Typical plan cap
- Free: up to 49 review invites in any 365-day period
- Starter and Pro: higher caps, still finite per billing year
- Large charity fields burn through the cap before the last wave gets invited
Nonprofit program
- Invites for your flagged nonprofit event skip the annual cap
- Every finisher can be invited, at the scale your cause actually runs
- Support turns it on after a quick chat (no self-serve toggle yet)
Plan cap (example: Free)49
All finishers invited1,200+
Example: a charity event with 1,200+ finishers. Nonprofit mode lets you invite past the cap without upgrading your plan just for volume.
Who uses the proof
Race directors, sponsors, and fundraisers all want the same thing: proof they can actually use. They just need it packaged differently.
Close the loop with every finisher, not just your ambassadors. Export proof for debriefs and next year's planning.
Verified quotes about experience and logistics that you can cite in a deck. Independent of your registration vendor.
Athletes trust peers. Public reviews answer "was it worth it?" for next year's team.
How it works
Same verified-review setup as any Sporting Scouter event, with nonprofit cap treatment once support enables it.
Claim your charity event
Create or claim the event on Sporting Scouter. Import finishers from RunSignup, Race Roster, or CSV. Your registration setup stays the same.
Request nonprofit mode
Open chat and ask support to enable the nonprofit program on your event. Share event name, date, and estimated finishers.
Invite every finisher
Send review invites to the full field. Those sends do not count toward your annual plan cap for that nonprofit event.
Publish proof sponsors can cite
Verified reviews, public replies, and an embeddable widget for your registration page and year-end impact report.
What stays the same
- Payments and registration stay on RunSignup, Race Roster, Let's Do This, or your provider.
- Timing and results stay on your existing timing partner.
- Sporting Scouter is the verified-review layer on top. It is not a replacement platform.
- Nonprofit cap exemption is per event, enabled by support after verification.

THE OFFER
Nonprofit invite exemption: one event, full field
No special pricing tier. Keep your Free, Starter, or Pro plan. For qualified charity events, support enables nonprofit mode so invites from that event do not eat your annual cap.
You need a cause-driven event, claimed on Sporting Scouter. Support enables it after a chat. No self-serve toggle.
Questions
Runs, rides, walks, and fundraisers where charitable impact is the main story, not a standard commercial race. Support confirms eligibility when you request nonprofit mode.
Use the chat button on this page or contact support from your organizer dashboard. Share your event name, date, and estimated finishers. We enable nonprofit mode on your claimed event after verification.
No. Once nonprofit mode is on for that event, review invites sent for that event do not count toward your annual cap. Invites for your other events still count normally.
Not yet. A short support chat is required so we can verify the event qualifies and prevent abuse of the cap exemption.
No. Registration and payments stay on your provider. Sporting Scouter adds verified reviews, organizer replies, and an embeddable widget.
Each event can be reviewed for nonprofit mode separately. Contact support with details for each one.
No separate nonprofit subscription. You keep your existing plan. The benefit is cap exemption for verified charity events.
Public, verified finisher reviews can go in grant applications, sponsor decks, and your event page embed. Proof of participant experience that is independent of your registration vendor.
