Transparency & Our Commitment to Impact

Malibu Moves was founded as a locally-owned, mission-driven event with a core promise: to reinvest in the resilience and vitality of the Malibu community. Following our inaugural years, where we successfully donated over $110,000 to local partners, we continue to refine our giving model to ensure long-term sustainability and maximum impact.

Our Giving Model

Malibu Moves is committed to fundraising for and supporting local charitable initiatives through three primary channels:

• Direct Participant Donations: 100% of funds donated by participants during the registration process are channeled directly to our 501(c)(3) partner, Move Together Association.

• Charity Bib Program: Proceeds from our Charity Entry program support our vetted partners, including the Malibu Education Foundation, The Emily Shane Foundation, and Girls On The Run LA.

• Event Contributions: A portion of event proceeds is allocated to community initiatives based on a merit-based selection process focused on youth, fire resilience, and local recovery.

Transparency Promise

To ensure funds are used effectively, we work closely with the City of Malibu and community leaders to identify where support is needed most. All charitable funds are managed by Move Together Association (Tax ID #99-3051234), ensuring your contributions are tax-deductible and handled with the highest standards of nonprofit accountability.
