Big Give Prizes

Prizes were awarded throughout the 24 hours of giving to help ignite philanthropy throughout the community.

Big Give Prizes ranged from those that were time-sensitive for nonprofits with the most raised or most donors between specific time intervals, to cause-based prizes, such as the Large/Medium Animals prize displayed below.
