2026 Season

For charities

The Golden Paperclip Challenge turns supporters into fundraisers without asking anyone for money. They start with a golden paperclip, trade it up all season, and hand the final item to the charity they played for. It's free, there's nothing to sign, and every trade is a fresh story you can share.

Get a free page

As soon as a supporter names you, you get a charity page listing everyone trading for you, what they're holding, and what's already been given.

Ask supporters to play

Share the challenge with your community. Anyone can claim a paperclip in a minute and pick you as their cause.

Amplify every step

Every player page, trade and celebration has a share button with a written post and a link that previews properly on social.

Three steps to get going

  1. 1. Post the challenge to your supporters with one of the captions below.
  2. 2. Ask them to enter your charity's exact name when they sign up — that's what groups everyone onto your page.
  3. 3. Reshare their trades all season. The season closes December 24, 2026, and a new one opens January 1, 2027.
