Every Dollar Unlocks More Impact
Discover how your donation triggers sponsor challenge funds throughout the 48-hour Giving Blitz.
The Challenge System Explained
During the Giving Blitz, your donation does double duty. Not only does it directly support Columbia Ability Alliance programs, but it also helps unlock additional sponsor challenge funds that multiply your impact.
Here’s how it works: Local sponsors have committed challenge funds that are released only when our community reaches specific milestones. When we hit 25 first-time donors, a $2,500 challenge unlocks. When we raise $7,500 as a community, another $7,500 becomes available. Your donation might be the one that tips us over the edge!
Challenge Types:
- Donation Milestones: Unlock when we reach specific fundraising amounts
- Participation Goals: Release when we hit donor count targets
- Social Media Challenges: Activated by shares, likes, and engagement
