What is a unique donor?
A unique donor refers to a person who makes a donation to a nonprofit on Spring2ACTion. The goal for Spring2ACTion is to engage 1,500 people – or unique donors - to give to Alexandria nonprofits on May 5, 6 and 7. Each person will be counted once in our “total donors” tally that will be updated every 30 minutes on the Spring2ACTion landing page. If one person makes donations to multiple organizations, they will be counted once per organization on the leader boards.
Can I give multiple times to help my organization win?
No; giving multiple times to your favorite donation will not help them climb up the leader board to win the grand prize. The leader board tracks each individual - or unique donor - who gives to that organization.

Throughout the 44-hour event, individual donors will be randomly chosen to receive a prize. Additionally the nonprofit that they donated to will receive an additional $100 in cash. The winning donors and nonprofits will be notified via email.
When individuals donate for Spring2ACTion, who will receive this information?
