America's Giving Challenge UPDATED Oct. 16

Make a donation to Compassion International through our Facebook Cause.

The 2009 America’s Giving Challenge has begun, and through the Giving Challenge, the Case Foundation will give away a total of $170,000 in daily and overall prizes to non-profits over the next month.

America’s Giving Challenge offers Compassion a great opportunity to demonstrate the worthiness of using social media in pursuit of our mission, and it offers you a chance to make a significant difference on behalf of that mission:

In response to the Great Commission, Compassion International exists as an advocate for children, to release them from their spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults.

America’s Giving Challenge – How Does It Work?

  • The Giving Challenge runs from Oct. 7 at 3 p.m. ET to Nov. 6, 2009 at 3 p.m. ET.
  • Each day the Case Foundation will award a prize to the cause that has the most individual donors* on that day, not the most money raised.
  • $1,000 each day to the cause with the most unique donations that day.
  • $500 each day to the cause with the second most unique donations that day.
  • At the end of the Giving Challenge, the Case Foundation will award prizes to the causes that have the most individual donors throughout the entire Giving Challenge.
    • $50,000 to the cause with the highest number of unique daily donations over the 30 days.
    • $25,000 to the cause with the second highest number of unique daily donations over the 30 days.
    • $10,000 each to the next five causes with the highest number of unique daily donations over the 30 days.
  • Donations must be made to a cause using the Causes application on Facebook, but anyone can donate – even someone without a Facebook account.
  • The minimum donation is $10.
