Clarifying the rules with the Nourish/Global Giving Challenge
So many of you noticed a provision at the bottom of the Global Giving Leaderboard mentioning that only projects that cross the $3,000 and 50 donor leaderboard are eligible for prizes and wondered why we didn’t mention this from the beginning.
The honest answer is that we didn’t know — it was news to us as well. In our conversations with Global Giving, it wasn’t something we discussed — mostly because we didn’t anticipate it being a problem. With that said, it’s a standard Global Giving procedure to set a “minimum bar” that projects have to meet to stay on the website and be eligible for prizes. In past Challenges, that “minimum bar” has been 50 donors and $5,000. In this Challenge, we asked Global Giving to lower the bar for staying site to $3,000 to be more “in line” with the typical amount of a Nourish project, but the prize eligibility never came up.
We’re looking into whether or not anything can be done about this, Chapter/Project leaders should work as hard as possible to make this a non-issue — 50 donors and $3,000 is a reachable goal (to see some strategies for reaching this goal, check here).
