• As a fairness mechanism, participating organizations will be capped at $2,000 in matching funds.
• The Daan Utsav - #GivingTuesdayIndia Campaign leaderboard will display the remaining matching funds. We encourage you to get donations in early because matching funds may run out quickly.
• For the purposes of calculating matching amounts, donations made in other currencies will be converted to USD. The exchange rate will be estimated at the time of the donation, but may be subject to change until the donation settles with the donor’s bank or credit card. Funds will be disbursed using the exchange rate based on the settlement value of each transaction.
• GlobalGiving reserves the right to make final decisions on all matters concerning the allocation of matching funds.
• Only donations made by unique donors per project will be matched. Unique donors are determined using numerous criteria, including but not limited to name, email address, credit card number, mailing address, and IP address. We are monitoring these and other parameters in our system to ensure that only unique, distinct donors are counted.

Monthly Giving Match:

• New recurring donations made during the Daan Utsav - #GivingTuesdayIndia Campaign up to $200 per donor per project will get an additional 100% match on the initial donation as long as it remains active for a minimum of four total payments.
