Challenges
Dollar Challenges
When you set up a Dollar Challenge, you agree to donate a defined amount if others contribute a certain aggregate amount within a fixed period of time. For example, you could agree to give $5,000 if others give $5,000 in the next two days.
Donor Challenges
When you set up a Donor Challenge, you agree to donate a defined amount if a certain number of pledges are received within a fixed period of time. For example, you could agree to give $5,000 if 50 new pledges are received in the next two days.
Are Challenge Donations tax deductible?
Yes! Unless otherwise specified on the campaign page, all donations on GiveCampus are tax deductible. You will receive a donation receipt from the school after your donation is processed.
Are Challenge Donations visible on the campaign page?
Yes. When you offer a Challenge Donation, you will appear on the campaign’s Donors tab and the results of your Challenge will appear on the Advocates tab—specifically, the number of donors and amount you have challenged. Additionally, while your Challenge is active, all of the details will appear on the campaign page—the amount you are challenging, and the duration of the challenge.
Can I offer a Challenge Donation anonymously?
Yes. If you choose to be anonymous using the "Please do not display my name" check box in the giving form, the details of your Challenge Donation will appear on the campaign page, but you will be identified as “Anonymous.”
Do I have to sign up or log-in to offer a Challenge Donation?
No.
How much of a Challenge Donation goes to the school?
All of it! The school directly receives 100% of each and every donation, for use as stipulated by the campaign.
Does GiveCampus store my credit card information?
No. GiveCampus does not store or save your credit card information. We take security very seriously, so this sensitive data is handled exclusively by a PCI Compliant payment proces
