Why give? «

Your donation matters! Every donation supports the great work these project leaders are doing. And your donation has the potential to have an even greater impact by helping these projects get one step closer to 50 donors and $4,000. Once projects cross this threshold, they are invited to remain on the GlobalGiving site and take advantage of our fundraising tools.

What is the Challenge? »

The Challenge is for participants to generate donations for their projects between August 18, 2009 (12:01 EDT) and Sepember 18, 2009 (11:59 pm EDT). The top three fundraising projects (most dollars raised) will also receive supplementary cash bonuses from GlobalGiving of $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000, respectively. The project with the greatest number of unique donors will be awarded a bonus of $3,000.

ANY Project that is able to raise a minimum of $4,000 and at least 50 separate donors will be invited to stay on at GlobalGiving. These projects will be eligible to continue receiving donations from the general public, private and corporate foundations through www.globalgiving.org.

Online donations will be accepted through September 18, 2009 until 11:59 EST. Checks received by September 17th, will be included in the Challenge and will count towards the number of unique donors for each project. Checks received after September 17th will be applied to the indicated project, but will not count towards the Challenge. Checks should be made payable to the GlobalGiving Foundation and should clearly indicate the project to which the funds should be applied.
