FAQ and Terms and Conditions

• An anonymous donor has generously provided $25,000 in matching funds for new recurring donations on GlobalGiving. This matching offer is valid while these funds remain.
• The purpose of this anonymous donation is to get as many new donors to sign up for recurring monthly giving as possible. The hope is to provide many projects on GlobalGiving with a reliable and sustainable source of funds in the form of monthly recurring donations that they can use to plan programs, create budgets, and expand services.
• Donations will be matched 1-to-1 between December 1, 2012 at 12:01 am ET and ends December 31, 2012 at 11:59 pm ET or while funds remain.
• New recurring donations created on GlobalGiving.org will be matched 1-to-1 up to $100 per donor per project. Eligible recurring donations of $101 or larger will be matched at $100.
• To be eligible for matching, the recurring donation must last for at least three months and have both an initial donation as well as at least three automatic recurring donations (a total of 4 months).
• Recurring donations that are cancelled after the initial donation but prior to the third automatic recurring donation are not eligible for matching.
