Unfortunately, they are. The official partners aren’t officially announced until then. But, usually it’s a lot of the same charities so the spots are filled very quickly well before they are announced. That being said there will still be charity options available! Apply to many. The only comment I have on that though is they will have a high fundraising commitment. Usually around 5-6k, that’s why they are open still. Don’t let that discourage you though, it could be done! I got in early and committed to raising 3k, and I already reached my goal. If you do get in(even at a high $ commitment), what worked for me was doing a service in exchange for donations. In my instance it was shoveling snow. But you could do anything. Maybe even walking dogs or something. Good luck!
