A Most Unique Donors Prize is all about volume. Nonprofits are competing to bring in the most individual donors in the listed time period, and the aim is to help bring in more people! Because these hours calculate individual donors, one person making multiple donations in the space of an hour will be counted as a single donor. In the case of tie, the prize will be awarded to the organization with the most dollars raised during that time period.
Golden Tickets are random chance drawings during a designated time period. Times shown are in Central Standard time. Winners will be posted at the end of the time time period listed. Each online gift a donor makes during that time period enters the donor for a random chance to win money for the cause they support. The Mightycause platform will randomly select a donor who has given to an eligible nonprofit during that time period as the winner of the Golden Ticket. The organization will win a prize on top of that donor's generous gift. Only online donations count towards Golden Tickets.
