WW makes additional donations totaling $4,000 to those organizations who achieve (1) the greatest number of donations from people 35 and under and (2) the greatest total amount of donations. No organization can win more than one prize, and the Oregon Cultural Trust does not qualify, because it has so many affiliates among Give!Guide participants. This year's WW challenge grants go to: For number of donors 35 and under: The Bus Project - 197 (wins $1,000), Growing Gardens - 163 ($500), Sisters of the Road - 125 ($300), and Portland Fruit Tree Project - 120 ($200). For total amount raised: Planned Parenthood ($1,000), Mercy Corps ($500), Habitat for Humanity ($300), and BTA ($200).
