Giving Tuesday Terms & Conditions
How Does it Work?
About Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving that was created in response to increased commercialization and consumerism.
#GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners— nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals—to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness.
How Does Giving Tuesday Work on LaunchGood?
Campaign creators can host their Giving Tuesday campaigns on LaunchGood to be eligible to win funds based on how much they raise online and the number of unique donors they have.
What are the prizes?
There will be up to $100,000 in rewarded funds to campaigns who raise the most online or have the most number of unique donors. There will also be randomized winners announced throughout the day. See ‘Prizes’ section below for more detail.
