Maximize Your Donation on Giving Day
Help us win cash prizes on Giving Day!
Your donation can be multiplied by helping DAWS win two of the various cash prizes offered as part of Giving Day.
DAWS is competing to win the $1,000 Get Up and Give Launch prize and the $5,000 Top of the Morning prize. Details of how these prizes will be awarded are as follows:
Get Up and Give Launch Prize–Beginning at 12:00 AM EST on March 1st, the first 20 nonprofits to receive 25 unique donors of $25 or more will receive a $1,000 prize. You can help us win this prize by planning your donations to maximize the number of unique donors during this time period.
Example:

Top of the Morning Prize–Between 12:00 – 9:00 AM EST on March 1st, the organizations with the most money raised during this time period will win the prize. You can help us win this prize by planning your donations to maximize the dollar amount raised by DAWS by 9:00 AM EST on March 1st.
