Your donation matters! With your donation you empower the Challenge participants to implement their ideas over
the next few months. Not only that! 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 grow their donor communities by leveraging personalised fundraising tools and
corporate and marketing campaigns.

The Challenge is for participants to generate donations for their projects between September 1, 2010 (0000 hrs, EDT) and September 30, 2010 (2359 hrs, EDT).
Any project that is able to meet the challenge threshold of raising $4,000 from 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 and take advantage of GlobalGiving's fundraising tools and services.
The top three (3) projects that raise the most funds 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 $2,000.
Online donations will be accepted through September 30, 2010 until 2359 hrs EST. Checks received by September 29, 2010 will be included in the Challenge and will count towards the number of unique donors for each project. Checks received after September 29, 2010 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.
STAY TUNED - BONUS DAY SURPRISE! During the challenge, for 1 day (24 hours), ALL donations (up to $1000 each) will be matched at 15% till the total matching grant of $3000 is used up. The matching funds will not count towards to the $4,000 threshold. The date will be announced one week beforehand.

Online donations are considered unique if they are made from separate emails. The same credit card may be used for multiple online donations. Please note that GlobalGiving will be moderating this in the background and reserves the right to disqualify any attempts of misconduct. The same rule applies to unique checks. Unique checks refer to checks issued on unique checking accounts.
Transaction fee for donations: GlobalGiving charges a 15% fee, but works to keep the fees you pay as low as possible while providing you great services and resources. The 15% fee helps cover the costs we incur to promote your organization and projects, provide you with fundraising training and tools, and maintain and improve our online technology in order to keep you connecting with new donors. With our new add-on option, we also offer the donor the opportunity to make an additional donation to cover the fee so that you receive the intended amount.
Please note that GlobalGiving maintains the right to make a final decision on all matters concerning the adjudication of unique donors and final results of the September Global Open Challenge 2010
