BIG Day of Giving Incentive Pool Prizes Prize challenges are an exciting and fun way organizations can win money during May 5! There are 92 challenges for all participating organizations with over $124,000 up for grabs, not including additional prize challenges for specific groups. RULES 1. Participating nonprofits must follow the rules and instructions posted for each challenge. Failure to do so may disqualify you (i.e. forgetting to add a hashtag to a social media challenge post) 2.
