Terms + Conditions

• During every Accelerator there is one "Bonus Day" in which GlobalGiving releases $12,000 USD in incentive funds and cash prizes.
• The 2017 Year-End Accelerator Bonus Day will be from 00:00:01 EST to 23:59:59 EST on Wednesday, December 13th, 2017.
• Only organizations participating in GlobalGiving's 2017 Year-End Accelerator are eligible to participate in this Accelerator Bonus Day.
• Incentive Funds: On Bonus Day, Accelerator participants will compete for a share of a $10,000 Incentive Fund.
• The Incentive Fund will be proportionally divided between organizations that activate during the day. That means, if your project raises 5% of the total amount of money raised on Bonus Day, your organization will receive 5%, or $500, of the $10,000 Incentive Fund.   
• Throughout the day, your portion of the Incentive Fund will be displayed and fluctuate on the Bonus Day Leaderboard. The leaderboard will recalculate every 3 minutes. At midnight EST on December 13th, prizes will be locked.  
• Only online donations up to $1,000 per donor per project will count towards earning a portion of the Incentive Fund.    
• GlobalGiving will indicate in your donation manager which donations count towards your total raised on Bonus Day based on the time of the donation, the method of payment, and the unique donor criteria.
• GlobalGiving reserves the right to make final decisions on all matters concerning the allocation of the Incentive Fund.
• Cash Prizes: The projects with the most funds raised and the most unique donors on Bonus Day will each receive an additional $1,000 cash prize.
• Offline donations that come in on Bonus Day will count on the Main Accelerator Leaderboard, but will not be reflected on the Accelerator Bonus Day Leaderboard or count towards Bonus Day prizes.
• Prize money (incentive funds and bonus prizes) does not count towards the $5,000 and 40 donor thresholds.
• Recurring Donations: On Bonus Day, any new, unique recurring donors secured will count as two unique donors towards the Bonus Day most donor prize as well as towards the project's overall donor count in the Accelerator. Read complete information about the recurring double count in the main Accelerator Terms + Conditions.  
• Please note that all donations are final. GlobalGiving cannot change the time, date, or status of a donation after it is processed for any reason.
• Funds raised through eligible partner platforms during the Year-End Accelerator Bonus Day will not count towards Bonus Day prizes (incentive fund and bonus prizes) but will count towards the Accelerator threshold. Terms and Conditions apply.
• Information in the main Accelerator Terms + Conditions on tax-efficient giving, fees, exchange rates, disbursements, disqualification, unique donors, and vetting applies to the Accelerator Bonus Day.
