Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon
We are happy to welcome you to the 10th Edition of the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM). With every year SCMM has become larger and more successful for participating charities to raise funds and visibility through the event. SCMM 12 saw 197 charities raise a record Rs 16.07 Crores for themselves. United Way of Mumbai is the Charity Partner of SCMM and aims to develop and leverage the event into a great credible platform for giving and running for a cause. The event will take place on 20th January 2013 at Azad Maidan. Every year around 38,000 runners take part in the event in various categories. The event has huge press coverage and visibility in the city and the world. It provides a great opportunity for a NGO to gain visibility and raise significant amounts for their organization and the causes supported by them.
Charity Aspect of SCMM in a nutshell:
- All NGO's need to register with United Way of Mumbai and submit mandatory legal and financial documents as asked for in the registration form. These documents are available for donor inspection at our office. UWM conducts a due diligence process to ensure the bonafides of the registering NGO and provide assurance to donors on the credibility of the platform.
- All participating NGO's are eligible to block a certain number of charity running spots (bibs) which they can utilize to raise funds for themselves. The availability of such bibs is mentioned on the online page of each NGO on this website.
- Corporate Challenge (CC) is a category specially designed for companies who wish to sponsor employee teams to participate in the SCMM and raise funds for charity.
- Dream team is a special category meant for those highly motivated individuals who feel passionately about a cause and commit to raise a substantial sum of funds towards their charity during the SCMM.
