Soliciting Donations

Charities are invited to utilize the marketing materials on the Birdies for Charity website to promote their participation in the program. These materials can be customized, printed, and emailed to potential supporters and participants. Charities can include Birdies for Charity information on their own website and create a link to their Birdies for Charity page.

Individual Donations

• By cash or check: Donors wishing to donate via cash or check will make their donation directly to the charity of their choice. The donor must complete a Manual Donation Form which will ask them for their birdies guess and the tie-breaker question. The donor will send this form and their donation directly to the charity. The charity will be responsible for recording all donations which they receive directly. Manual donations must be uploaded to the donation site that will be provided to you by the Cadillac Championship Community Impact Team.
• Online: Donors wishing to donate online can be directed to the nonprofit's OneCause donation page. The full list of registered nonprofits can be located HERE.
