The challenge is to raise £1,000 from 50 unique donors for a project within a 30 day period, 1st April to 30th April 2009. 50 unique donors means that donations must come from at least 50 different people.

In addition, the two organisations that raise the most money will receive additional monetary rewards: £1,000 for the first place winner and £500 for the second place winner.


Project Challenge participants are project leaders from around the world who have expressed interest in posting their projects on GlobalGiving's site.

All project leaders must complete a rigorous Due Diligence process to qualify for the Project Challenge.
