Organizations can only win one grant. If they qualify for more than one grant, they will be awarded the grant of higher monetary value. Grants are worth $1,000 or $1,500.

Organization size is determined by the organization’s operating budget. This number is provided by each organization during the sign-up process. Once sign-up closes on May 1, the full list of participating organizations will be sorted by budget size, then divided into thirds: the smallest third (starting at 0) will be categorized as “Small”, the next third will be categorized as “Medium”, and the final third will fall into the “Large” category. These categories vary each year depending on which organizations are participating.
Organizations can also win up to two prizes. Prizes are worth $250, $500, and $750.
- Early sign-up (all organizations that sign up by April 1 are eligible to win one of three $250 prizes.)
- Power Hours: designated one-hour periods during the Giving Day where the organization that has the highest number of unique donors will win an additional $500. Both online and offline donations count toward these prizes.
- Golden Tickets: designated periods where each online gift enters an organization into a drawing to win $250. We randomly select a gift at the end of the period and that organization receives additional funds. Only online donations are eligible for these prizes.
All organizations are eligible to win one of three early sign-up prizes. If they are a winner of one of these prizes, they are still eligible to win up to one Giving Day grant and one additional prize.
Organizations are eligible to win either a Power Hour OR a Golden Ticket, but not both.
- Once an organization wins a Golden Ticket or Power Hour, they are no longer eligible to win Golden Tickets or Power Hours.
