India Giving Challenge 2011 |
It's
not too late to be part of the India Giving Challenge 2011!
While Rs. 11 lacs has already won in the India Giving Challenge till
date, there's lots on offer yet to be won. As we had mentioned earlier,
the total size of the pool this year is Rs. 75 lacs. What's more, a
well-wisher of GiveIndia, who has been following the challenge closely
for the past 3 years, has decided to give prizes to the top 50 NGOs
(provided they raise a minimum of Rs.10000 during the Joy of Giving
Week i.e. Sun, Oct 2nd - Sat, Oct 8th, 2011 alone ):
Only 14 NGOs qualify for this prize as of today. 36
more prizes are lying unclaimed! And a donation
of Rs. 10,000 is all that it will take to help you win one of
these many unclaimed prizes! Do note that these prizes expire
on the 8th of October and will not be transferred to next
week, even if they are unclaimed.
The last date of the event is October 20th - so enough time to yet take
advantage of the event.
Follow these steps to set up an
iGive page for the event, if you haven't done so already. And If you
have already created your page, then

your fundraising in top gear! If there's ever been a good time to raise
