Giving Day is a 24-hour celebration of authentic donors doing authentic philanthropy!

This Giving Day there is a $5 minimum for awesome gift-giving to the UW people and programs you care about.
Only authentic donor names and emails will be included in the donor counts for challenges, participation hours, power hours, and the advocacy challenge.

How Campaign Donor Counts Work:

When you make a gift, you are the primary donor.
- You count as a donor for each campaign that you support.
- Use the same name consistently if you donate more than once.
- You will only count once per campaign regardless of how many gifts you make to an individual campaign.
- If you make an additional gift during a Participation Hour or Power Hour it will include you as a donor towards that specific challenge even if you previously made a gift to the same campaign.
When you make a gift, you can include your domestic partner or spouse in the joint donor field
- They will count as an additional donor for each campaign that you support when making your gift.
- Use the same name consistently for your joint donor if you donate more than once.
- They will only count once per campaign regardless of how many gifts you make to an individual campaign.
- If you make an additional gift during a Participation Hour or Power Hour, your joint donor will be included as a donor towards that specific challenge even if they were previously included on a gift to the same campaign.

Inflated donor counts for a given campaign will not contribute towards monetary rewards for that campaign. This includes the use of inauthentic names or different versions of the names or emails of primary and/or joint donors who execute multiple transactions. After Giving Day concludes and gifts have been processed, any identified ineligible donors will reduce the percentage of prize money that a given campaign is able to earn.
