Take Action Challenge

Every Giving Day gift made through that unique URL counts toward the Take Action Challenge, which awards the three advocates that secure the most gifts. Winners will be asked which fund they would like to contribute prize winnings to.

1st Place: $5,000 | 2nd Place: $3,000 | 3rd Place: $2,000

New Donor Challenge

Every gift up to $1,000 from a new donor will be matched and go to the school, program, or cause they support, encouraging new participation across units.

Daylong Challenges

The following challenges will run throughout Giving Day and be awarded at the end of the day, once the criteria have been met, or a few days post-Giving Day, once results are finalized.
