GlobalGiving's Open Challenge is an opportunity for your organization to earn a spot on the GlobalGiving website and to benefit from GlobalGiving's vast network of corporate sponsors and individuals donors and to take advantage of our unique fundraising tools.
To qualify, you will need to raise at least $4,000 from 50 or more donors during the Challenge period (usually about 4 weeks). In the past, the most successful projects develop a fundraising strategy before the Challenge begins and actively reach out to their supporters using emails, Social Media, offline events, and more. This "tool kit" provides your organization the resources you will need to succeed in the Open Challenge.
