Registering as Charity for Ride Joburg

[Uni]

Hi all.

Hoping someone can give some advice /feedback on the process of registering a charity/group for the upcoming Ride Joburg. I was given a link to fill out and it's asking things like how many entries do I want for the 2 distances.  If I ask for say 10, but can't find people to take it up, what then? It's also asking for my details like allergies and medical conditions- but I'm not riding it. 

Also how then does the actual fundraising happen. Would the rider undertake to get sponsors or would I have to try get some sponsors to motivate people riding for us?

Is there financial risk involved for the NPO to be liable for costs of anything?

It's for a NPO Parrot Rescue / Rehab based in Edenvale. 

TIA

I can only answer on the fundraising side. 

We ride for Border Collie Rescue and we pledge R2000 per rider which we fund raise ourselves. This excludes the cost of our entry which is the normal entry cost. 

For our R2000 we get to support the cause, and we get an Anatomic BCR shirt and a goodie bag. This is all arranged by BCR. 

You raise the R2000 however you want to - friends, family, clients, yourself, etc. Ypur benefactors pay it directly to your charity or I guess you could pay it across yourself. 

The charity needs to sign up, then people sign up to ride on behalf of the charity. I don’t know anything about the charity signing up process. 

The charity uses your tickets to ensure you receive your access/dedicated start time/hospitality access, etc. 

If it’s for Brainy Birds I’m sure it’s not the first time someone has signed up for them, so the owner or someone on the committee should know, I would think.

Thank you, it is Brainy Birds, I don't think they remember if anyone has ever registered 😆 but let me see if it's something we can get off the ground.
