Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters for building our 2024 Do More 24 Delaware Gives Day prizes! Details around the three social media prizes have been updated below.

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.

Small Nonprofits Donation Bonus Stretch Pool (Total Value = $5,000).

Thanks to our most generous supporters, in addition to the general incentive stretch pool above, small nonprofits (annual operating budgets of $100,000 or less) that are not otherwise eligible for the applicable DDOA stretch pool and that receive 15 or more unique donations on Do More 24 Delaware will be eligible to receive matching dollars on a proportionate basis from the Small Nonprofits Donation Bonus Stretch Pool. An eligible organization's portion of the "stretch" depends on how many unique donations they receive. For example, if an organization receives 3% of the total unique donations raised by all eligible organizations for the Small Nonprofits Bonus Stretch Pool, then that organization will receive 3% of the stretch pool. The formula for the stretch pool is: (Individual Nonprofit's # of Unique Donations / Total # of Unique Donations on Do More 24 Delaware by the eligible/qualifying small nonprofits) x Total Amount in Stretch Pool = Individual Nonprofit's Share of Stretch Pool. Only nonprofits that have an annual operating budget of $100,000 or less and not eligible for the DDOA Stretch Pool will be eligible for this award and must also receive a minimum of 15 donations during the 24 hour giving day period to qualify. Funds received as part of the Small Nonprofit Bonus Stretch Pool will count toward that organization's total raised for purposes of calculating their share of their applicable general incentive stretch pool they would be eligible for, and they will also be able to win other eligible prizes through the giving day event.

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 FY24 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 change for the 2024 giving day event to 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 $1.6 million and above – Stretch Pool of $25,000

Tier 2 (Medium orgs): Operating budgets of $125,000 to $1,599,999 – Stretch Pool of $125,000

Tier 3 (Small orgs): Operating budgets of $1-$124,999 – Stretch Pool of $50,000

^Tiers assigned based on FY24 budget submissions from organizations' general operating application.

The formula for this year’s stretch pool will be 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.

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 2024.

Pursuit of Equity Prizes
We recognize that only a few nonprofits serving Delaware are led by Black, Indigenous, or Persons of Color (BIPOC). Thanks to United Way of Delaware, the Delaware Racial Justice Collaborative, and other generous supporters, BIPOC-led organizations will be eligible to win one of this year's Pursuit of Equity Prizes described below. At this time, we are defining "BIPOC" to include one of the following racial backgrounds or ethnicities: Black, Indigenous, or person of color (including Latino/a/x, Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Mexican, Jamaican, Chinese, Arab, Middle Eastern and North African). We are defining "BIPOC-led" as meaning that the CEO/executive director identifies as BIPOC (BIPOC Led ED/CEO) OR 50% or more of the senior leadership of the organization identifies as BIPOC (BIPOC Led Sr/Exec Leadership) OR 50% or more of the organization's board identifies as BIPOC (BIPOC Led Board). Participating nonprofits self-disclosed and/or updated their applicability in these categories as part of an annual survey we send them. You can use the site's search filters to determine which nonprofits self-identified into one or more of these categories.

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 7.

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.
