March Goodness
Razoo* is hosting their annual March Goodness Tournament where a select group of 96 nonprofits compete for grants based on fundraising through the Razoo giving network. 64 nonprofits are competing in our at-large competition “The Big Dance” in 4 regions; 32 small nonprofits are going head-to-head in “The RazooNIT”.
*[ra-zoo’]: (noun) a coin of little value; when combined, small contributions make a huge difference
Participating nonprofit organizations will be soliciting as many unique donors as possible through their March Goodness Project Pages linked through this site (click map above). We will track the number of donors and donations and post results live on the leader boards linked above. A visitor must make a donation (minimum $10) through the designated March Goodness Project Page (labeled MG2010) in order for it to count. Nonprofits will be ranked by unique donors to their official March Goodness Project Page for the first round.
For the Final Four portion of the Big Dance, the four regional winners will compete in the second round and will be ranked by total dollars raised during the Final Four eligibility period.
The RazooNIT is a one-round competition; the 32 competing nonprofits will be ranked by unique donors only.
Key Dates
* March 15 – 30: Big Dance Regional Tournaments and RazooNIT
* March 25: DC United Sweet 16
* April 2 – 6: Big Dance Final Four
