Track your organization's progress in the Accelerator through our leaderboards! The Main Leaderboard will capture participant activity from September 10th through October 2nd, showcase your progress towards the goal of raising $5,000 from 40 donors, and display bonus prize placement and rank. The Bonus Day Leaderboard will be live for 24 hours on Wednesday, September 19th, and will track how much of the $10,000 in Incentive Fund your organization secures on that day.
