Spur Impact and United Way of Delaware work hard to secure sponsors who make the Do More 24 Delaware prizes possible. Thank you to all of our generous sponsors and supporters for helping to build the 2025 prize pool! Stay tuned—we’re finalizing a few additional prizes.

Donations will be "stretched" thanks to our Stretch Pool Sponsors

General Incentive Stretch Pool, Small Nonprofit Division (Total Value = $30,000)

Thanks to our most generous supporters, every eligible organization that raises $5 or more on Do More 24 Delaware will receive matching dollars on a proportionate basis from their respective stretch pool, thanks to Spur Impact, Longwood Foundation, Welfare Foundation, Crestlea Foundation, Laffey-McHugh Foundation, Delaware Community Foundation, United Way of Delaware, and other community supporters. Your organization's portion of the "stretch" depends on how much is raised in total donations. For example, if your organization receives 3% of the total donations raised by all eligible organizations participating on Do More 24 Delaware, then your organization will receive 3% of the stretch pool. The formula for the stretch pool is: (Individual Nonprofit's Amount Raised / Total Amount Raised on Do More 24 Delaware from eligible orgs) x Total Amount in Stretch Pool = Individual Nonprofit's Share of Stretch Pool.

Only nonprofits with an annual operating budget of $500,000 or less will be eligible for the Small Nonprofit Division General Incentive Stretch Pool. Organizations eligible for the DDOA Stretch Pool will not be eligible for the General Incentive Stretch Pool, but will be able to win other eligible prizes through the giving day event, which may increase their respective stretch pool share.

General Incentive Stretch Pool, Large Nonprofit Division (Total Value = $30,000)

Thanks to our most generous supporters, every eligible organization that raises $5 or more on Do More 24 Delaware will receive matching dollars on a proportionate basis from their respective stretch pool, thanks to Spur Impact, Longwood Foundation, Welfare Foundation, Crestlea Foundation, Laffey-McHugh Foundation, Delaware Community Foundation, United Way of Delaware, and other community supporters. Your organization's portion of the "stretch" depends on how much is raised in total donations. For example, if your organization receives 3% of the total donations raised by all eligible organizations participating on Do More 24 Delaware, then your organization will receive 3% of the stretch pool. The formula for the stretch pool is: (Individual Nonprofit's Amount Raised / Total Amount Raised on Do More 24 Delaware from eligible orgs) x Total Amount in Stretch Pool = Individual Nonprofit's Share of Stretch Pool.

Only nonprofits with an annual operating budget greater than $500,000 will be eligible for the Large Nonprofit Division General Incentive Stretch Pool. Organizations eligible for the DDOA Stretch Pool will not be eligible for the General Incentive Stretch Pool, but will be able to win other eligible prizes through the giving day event, which may increase their respective stretch pool share.

Delaware Division of the Arts Stretch Pool & Grant Incentives*
Thanks to the Delaware Division of the Arts (DDOA), arts nonprofits that currently receive general operating support funding through DDOA in FY25 will be eligible for the DDOA stretch pool and donation-based bonus grants as described below. DDOA grantees eligible for these awards will receive these funds directly from the Division after the event results are finalized.

To incentivize innovative ways to engage new donor engagement, the formula for the DDOA stretch pool will again focus equally on the number of unique donations received and the amount of money raised– rather than solely the total dollar amount raised or number of donations received during the 24-hour fundraising period. The Division has also adjusted the stretch pool tiers^ to provide a more equitable and financially incentivizing opportunity for all organizations that choose to participate.

Tier 1 (Large orgs): Operating budgets of $1.8 million and above – Stretch Pool of $25,000

Tier 2 (Medium orgs): Operating budgets of $150,000 to $1,799,999 – Stretch Pool of $125,000

Tier 3 (Small orgs): Operating budgets of $1-$149,999 – Stretch Pool of $50,000

^Tiers assigned based on FY25 budget submissions from organizations' general operating application.

This year’s stretch pool formula will be the same as in 2024 and use the following:

((Stretch Pool Amount* 0.5) * (Number of total unique donations to your organization / Number of total unique donations in your specific tier above)) + ((Stretch Pool Amount *0.5) * (Total amount raised by your organization / Total amount raised by your tier group))  = Your organization's stretch pool share

 

Please note that all stretch pool grants will be capped at the total dollar amount the organization raises. DDOA eligible orgs can view their groupings here.

Sussex County Donation Incentive Bonus Incentives
Thanks to Carl M. Freeman Foundation (CMFF), small nonprofits (annual operating budgets of $500,000 or less) whose mission and programs primarily serve communities in Sussex County and with their primary offices or headquarters located in Sussex County will be eligible for the Sussex County donation-based incentive bonus grants as described below. To qualify for these prizes, eligible nonprofits must raise a minimum of $1,000 during Do More 24 Delaware 2025. Nonprofits determined to be eligible for and win these awards will receive these funds directly from Carl M. Freeman Foundation after the event results are finalized.

Sussex County Donation Incentive Bonus Grants (Supported through the Carl M. Freeman Foundation, Total Value = $25,000).

The top 10 nonprofits that are eligible and qualify for the Sussex County Donation Incentive Bonus Grant programs and that receive the most number of donations over the course of Do More 24 Delaware will receive bonus grants from Carl M. Freeman Foundation. First place will receive a $6,000 incentive grant, 2nd place will receive $5,000, 3rd place will receive $4,000, 4th place will receive $3,000, 5th place will receive $2,000, and 6th through 10th will each receive $1,000. For purposes of the other stretch pool calculations for which these nonprofits may also be eligible, these bonus amounts will count toward that organization's overall total raised.

The formula for the Sussex County Donation Incentive Bonus Grants will weight the # of donations and amount raised equally and use the following formula to determine the top 10 organizations for this prize: 
((0.5) * (Number of total unique donations to your organization / Number of total unique donations of the other eligible organizations)) + ((*0.5) * (Total amount raised by your organization / Total amount raised by the other eligible organizations))  = Your organization's stretch pool share

Community Impact Prizes (Sponsored by Discover)
Thanks to Discover, the top 10 eligible nonprofits with the most number of donations in each of the small and large nonprofit divisions will get bonus prizes up to $5,000 as described below.

Community Impact Prizes Sponsored by Discover, Small Nonprofit Division (Total Value = $10,000). The top 10 nonprofits (whose operating budgets are less than $500,000 and appropriately listed in one or more of the eligible categories below) that receive the most number of donations over the course of Do More 24 Delaware will win one of the Discover Community Impact Prizes. Only nonprofits that are determined to be appropriately working in one or more of the following sector categories will be eligible for these prizes:  Entrepreneurship, Finance & Money, Food, Agriculture, and Nutrition, Homelessness & Housing, Poverty & Hunger, Social Justice, Workforce. Bonuses will be added to the nonprofits' overall total and count toward their eligible stretch pool share. First Place will receive $5,000, 2nd Place will receive $2,000, 3rd Place will receive $1,000, 4th Place will receive $500, 5th - 10th place will receive $250 each.

Nonprofits raising money during the 24 hour fundraising marathon have chances to win additional bonus cash prizes each hour starting at 6 PM on Thursday, March 6.

Each of the 24 hours has at least one prize of $100 that any nonprofit raising money that hour can win. Thanks to our sponsors, many hours have additional great prizes up for grabs, usually based on the number of unique donations received in that hour or simply by receiving a donation in that hour. Where applicable, there are prizes for nonprofits in each the large or small divisions, so small nonprofits (<$500K annual budget) and large nonprofits (>$500K annual budget) are competing against similar sized organizations and not necessarily each other. The details of each hour are summarized in more details below. 

Most hours of the Do More 24 Delaware event will have prizes that will be awarded in addition to the two $100 Golden Tickets that will be awarded each hour.

Thanks to our many generous supporters,  the following hours have additional bonus prizes that can be won by the nonprofits receiving donations in those hours. More information about each of these prizes are below.
