FAQs
Q: How do I donate?
A: Just go to our Donately campaign and click the "Donate Now" button! If you chose the "We Are Lents" option, make sure to create your own fundraiser after you finish donating by clicking the "Start a Fundraiser" button on our Donately campaign. You can use the message template located at the bottom of our Donately campaign in order to get your friends and family to donate to your fundraiser without having to come up with something to say!
Q: What time should I show up to travel the Green Ring?
A: Come to the Kick-off event of travel anytime between June 25th and July 2nd, it's up to you! You can plan with your neighbors and even do it together!
Q: Can I bring friends or family members even if they haven't registered?
A: Yes, of course! If they are able to donate, we do ask you to direct them to this site. Anything helps!
Q: If I sign up for "We Are Lents" and create my own personal fundraiser, do I still have to donate?
A: Nope! Just put "$0" when you fill out the donation form if you don't want to make a personal donation. However, if you donate $25 or more you get a t-shirt!
Q: How does Business Sponsor donation matching work?
A: Each Business Sponsor will match donations (up to a set amount) for a specified number of participants. This means your donation has an even bigger impact! Your personal fundraiser is also included in your Business Sponsor's donation matching! For example: If your business sponsor is willing to match your donation up to $50, you donate $20, and you raise $30 through your personal fundraiser, your business sponsor will match both your donation and the donations from your personal fundraiser... so your $20 donation will actually be worth $100!
Q: How do I get my Green Ring map and t-shirt?
A: When you fill out the donation form, you can either select to pick them up at our Tool Library or have them delivered to your address.
Q: Am I guaranteed to be partnered with the business I select as my sponsor?
A: Unfortunately, each business only has a certain number of participants they can sponsor. We will do our best to keep the number of slots available for each business up to date, but if you happen to select a business that can't sponsor any further participants, we will re-assign you to another Business Sponsor and send you a notification.
Q: Is my donation tax-deductible?
A: Yes! Donately will send you a receipt of your donation after it is sent.
Q: I've read the FAQs and my question still isn't answered. What should I do?
