2. Corporates must register their iGive pages with GiveIndia within 5 days of setting up the same so that GiveIndia can track the money collected on such iGive pages and credit the corporate with the same. GiveIndia will maintain a running list of corporate pages.
3. Corporates are encouraged to provide a team leader contact to the GiveIndia team for dissemination of any information. GiveIndia will take instructions regarding corporate pages only from team leaders.
4. While it is not compulsory for an NGO to have a corporate raising money on its behalf, we encourage it to try and engage a corporate and/or highly motivated individuals to ensure they can raise the maximum amount of money through this event.
5. The Challenge ends at midnight on October 11, 2009, IST. All iGive pages created for the event will automatically expire after this time. You will not be able to make a donation after this time. Please ensure that all your donations are made well in advance of this date. Ensure that cheques if any are sent to us well before the last date so that they can be credited and the amount reflects in your overall funds collected. Only cheques made against online transactions will be considered. Cheques without corresponding online transactions will not be considered as part of the overall funds raised.
6. For determining the winners of the matching grant, only money raised online on the iGive pages set up under “India Giving Challenge” from Sep 1st – Oct 11th 2009 will be considered.
