Learn How It Works
A Challenge Gift is a donation that inspires others to give. As donors contribute during a Giving Day, your gift is unlocked—amplifying everyone’s impact.
Giving Days
A Giving Day is a campaign with a specific time frame—from 48 hours to a week—dedicated to an institution’s fundraising priorities. It is primarily a digital effort with communications sent through email and other online channels. Individuals are invited to give back through donations and by sharing the Giving Day message with others.
