America's Giving Challenge 2009

The latest round of the America's Giving Challenge is on. This is a national competition to encourage people to use their personal and social networks to help win cash for their favorite nonprofit. The Giving Challenge is not focused on how much money you can raise, but on how successful you are at getting people to donate to your cause. The goal is to get as many unique daily donations as possible (minimum of $10), to your cause each day. The contest runs through November 6, 2009.

The top prize of $50,000 will be awarded to the cause with the highest number of unique daily donations during the Challenge. Runners up can win $25,000 or $10,000. There is also a daily award of $1,000 to the cause with the most unique donations that day and $500 to the cause with the second highest number of unique donations that day. The contest is sponsored by Causes, the Case Foundation, and PARADE Publications.
