Remember America's Giving Challenge, that great test of online fundraising sponsored by the Case Foundation and Parade Magazine a couple of years ago? With more than 80,000 people contributing $1.7 million, it went a long way toward proving Jean Case's assertion that "Small amounts of money given by large numbers of individuals can be combined to do great things."

They're running it again this year -- but this time, you'll get to warm up for the main event with a month-long series of trainings and other goodness they're calling "Gear Up for Giving". You'll be able to hone your strategy going into the Challenge with such experts as Beth Kanter, Marnie Webb, and NTEN's own Holly Ross, for free.

We published guest blog posts from organizations participating in the last Challenge, so we should probably do that again, too. Let us know if you're interested.

You should also check out the recently released report on the last Challenge, written by Beth and Allison Fine.
