Cash
We encourage you, if possible, to bring cash donations to our Pelotonia HQ. You’ll be asked to fill out a form at the front desk to ensure the cash goes to the correct participant profile. Another alternative is to mail the cash to our gift processing facility.

Checks
To mail a check, please complete our online donation form and select “Check” under “Payment Information.” This will create a pledge in our system. After clicking “submit,” please print the invoice screen that appears (or your confirmation email) and mail this, along with your check made out to Pelotonia, to our gift processing facility.

Wire Transfers
Contact ecantwell@pelotonia.org for the instructions.

Want to give through a Donor-Advised Fund?

Please initiate a donation online to a participant, Peloton, or the Forward Fund and select “DAF” as your payment method. You may then select your DAF from the options available in the DAF Pay tool, which will prompt you to sign in to your DAF or direct you externally to your fund’s website.

Once you have completed the steps provided, please proceed as normal through the end of the donation process.

If you do not see your Donor-Advised Fund in the list of options or you prefer to work directly with your fund, please ask the administrator of your fund to issue a check payable to Pelotonia (Federal Tax-ID 82-4997087). A note of instruction should be included and the name of the participant or Peloton you wish to support.

Cryptocurrency
You can follow the instructions on our Cryptocurrency Gift Form and return it to ecantwell@pelotonia.org once completed.

Stocks
You can follow the instructions on our Stock Donations Form and return it to ecantwell@pelotonia.org once completed.

How long will it take for a matching gift to be processed?
The matching gift submission, verification and disbursement process can take an extended period of time and varies by company. Some companies will approve and pay out a matching gift request quickly after the submission date, and others may take up to a year. It is important for you to familiarize yourself with your company’s matching gift policy and procedures so that you understand when Pelotonia is likely to receive the funds, as this can affect the non-binding fundraising commitment of the participant you are supporting. We encourage you to apply for your matching gift as soon as possible.

Most of our Donors give online via credit card but you can also donate via cash, check, donor advised fund, IRA, stock, and wire transfer. For any money that is being sent through the mail, please send to our gift processing facility: Pelotonia L-3454 Columbus, OH 43260.
