One thing to note is that this giving day is 24 hours, midnight-midnight MT. We will be using the prize page to communicate who has won each prize. There you will see the most recent winners.

We will then publish on the Idaho Gives social media accounts later throughout the day: Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Leaderboards

The leaderboards will be shown on the home page of the Idaho Gives website. This is a combined leaderboard of ALL participating organizations. In order to see how your organization is doing compared to small, medium or large size organizations go to the leaderboard page (upper right corner) and click the down arrow to sort.

The live leaderboards on IdahoGives.org starting May 2 will include both online and offline donations. However, all reported offline donations must be from unique donors. To ensure that your donations are verified, please provide the donors’ email addresses. If potential abuse should arise, the organization will be contacted and disqualified from the leaderboard prizes.

Leaderboard Prizes are determined by the most unique donors in each size category. Like last year, there are NO prizes awarded to most raised.

Offline Donations

Please submit offline donations before Idaho Gives ends at midnight MT. This is if you receive cash, checks, or even if a company/business will be donating a percentage back from the day's sales to your organization.

However, all reported offline donations must be from unique donors. To ensure that your donations are verified, please provide the donors’ email addresses. If potential abuse should arise, the organization will be contacted and disqualified from the leaderboard prizes.

Offline donations will count towards your fundraising total and our overall Idaho Gives total. Every dollar helps us all!

Other Giving Platforms

Click hereThe spirit of Idaho Gives is to broadcast our state’s nonprofit stories and for organizations to engage with donors in a truly meaningful way. We kindly ask you to not use other giving platforms (Facebook Fundraisers, Paypal, etc.) outside of the Idaho Gives platform (through GiveGab) while still promoting your Idaho Gives centered campaign.

When you use other giving platforms, we do not have a true reflection of Idaho’s generous contributions as those funds are not included in the grand total and the organizations’ personal goals.

The folks at Idaho Gives and GiveGab work very hard to make the day an easy way for donors to give and an effective way for nonprofits to tell their story. A lot of time and thought goes into making the best day for Idaho’s nonprofits.

The more organizations that abandon the Idaho Gives platform – but still benefit from the marketing and general buzz of the day – the less leverage the Idaho Gives team has to promote this 24-hour statewide fundraiser.

We want each nonprofit to collect as many funds as they possibly can and to educate the state on all the amazing work you all do. We ask you to please be respectful of Idaho Gives as a whole and to support the efforts taken to raise money and awareness for Idaho nonprofits.

However, if you do happen to receive donations outside of IdahoGives.org make sure to enter those into your Idaho Gives campaign page as offline gifts. They will not be counted towards many of the prizes but will be reflected in your total.

Thank you for the hard work you do every day to make Idaho an amazing and safe place to live. See you on May 2 to edit.
