ND 100 Challenge
The 100 highest-ranked causes from ND Day 2019 are placed in one of six divisions and compete for additional funds in this special challenge pool. The causes within each division that receive the highest percentage increase of donors from 2019 to 2020 will earn bonus funding! In order to be eligible for the prize dollars, you must increase the number of unique donors to your cause over 2019's ND Day results. If you are the only cause in your division to beat your 2019 donor count, your cause will receive the prize dollars for first, second, and third place! If only two causes in your division are eligible, the two groups will split the third-place winnings.
Biggest Movers
The ten causes outside of the ND 100 with the largest percentage growth in donors over ND Day 2019 will win $1,000 each!
Your cause must receive a minimum of 20 donors in 2020 to be eligible to win.
Hourly Challenges
Causes within the same category can compete for additional funds every hour. The cause that receives the most gifts during their 60-minute challenge window will win an extra $500!
