Warm thanks to all donors and project participants! Please see final results on the Leaderboard below.
The 2016 #GivingTuesday campaign will begin November 29th, 2016, at 00:00:01 EST and end at 23:59:59 EST on November 29th, 2016.
The campaign will run on GlobalGiving.org with one consolidated leaderboard announcing donations and matching funds.
There will be $500,000 USD in matching funds on #GivingTuesday, applied at 50% to all donations of up to $1,000 USD per unique donor per organization to eligible projects while funds last.
The normal GlobalGiving fee applies to donations on #GivingTuesday but not to matching funds.
Customer service will be available starting at 00:00:01 EST in addition to the regular 9:00:00 EST - 17:00:00 EST hours.
Project Eligibility
Active partner, leader, and superstar organizations on GlobalGiving.org are eligible to participate in the #GivingTuesday Campaign.
Emerging organizations (Accelerator participants) are not eligible to participate in this campaign but are eligible for the concurrent Accelerator #GivingTuesday Bonus Day.
This matching offer is only valid for donations made to eligible projects on GlobalGiving.org. Organizations that have posted projects only on GlobalGiving.co.uk must complete an expression of interest form by Friday, November 18th if they would like their projects cross-posted to GlobalGiving.org before #GivingTuesday.
Matching Funds
A total of $500,000 USD in matching funds will be available.
Matching applies at 50% for one-time donations up to $1,000 USD per donor per organization to eligible projects while funds last.
We encourage organizations to get donations in early because matching funds are likely to run out before the end of the matching period.
Year-End Campaign
Donations received on #GivingTuesday will also count on the Year-End Campaign leaderboard if your organization has opted to participate in that campaign by 23:59:59 on Friday, November 18, 2016.
Throughout the Year-End Campaign, $10,000 USD in bonus prizes will be available to eligible organizations.

Tax Efficient Giving & Fulfillment Fee
GlobalGiving.org is a registered nonprofit in the United States. Donations made on GlobalGiving.org can only be claimed as tax deductible contributions on United States tax returns.
Fulfillment fee for donations: GlobalGiving charges a 15% fulfillment fee on donations but works to keep the fees you pay as low as possible while providing you great services and resources. The fulfilment fee only applies to the initial donation during #GivingTuesday and does not apply to matching funds. The fee covers all transaction charges such as credit card fees, as well as helps to cover the costs incurred by GlobalGiving.org to promote organizations and projects, provide nonprofit partners with fundraising training and tools, and maintain and improve our online technology in order to keep you connecting with new donors. With our add-on option, we also offer the donor the opportunity to make an additional donation to cover the fee.
