HOW TO JOIN THE
CLIMB A MOUNTAIN Challenge™
Note: If you’re accepting a challenge, the goal is to complete it within 7-10 days.
STEP 1
Decide WHO or WHAT you’re participating in the challenge for — whether it’s a friend or loved one affected, or simply for raising FTD and/or general dementia awareness.
STEP 2
Decide what you want to do. We suggest just stretching yourself a notch beyond your comfort zone, to do whatever will metaphorically make you feel like you’re CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN. Even if that just means walking around the block once, that’s great, this is simply your own personal commitment and comfort level.
STEP 3
Take a video of yourself completing your challenge, whether that’s your last several steps up a mountain or around the block.
STEP 4
Upload your video to social media, tagging and challenging at least 1-3 of your friends. The post should include:
A. YOUR CHALLENGE STATEMENT
“Hi, this is Eric Battersby. I accepted and just completed a challenge from Lewis Walton to do the Climb a Mountain Challenge, for frontotemporal dementia.”
B. YOUR CHALLENGE LIST
Tag at least 1-3 friends, challenging them to do the Climb a Mountain Challenge™ too.

Yes. Change the World Films is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all eligible amounts are tax-deductible. When physical rewards are sent for donations, the cost of any item(s) incurred by Change the World Films is subtracted from the tax-deductible amount, as required, and will be noted on the final receipt you receive via email from us.
For clarification, per IRS code, rewards with cash value subtract that value from the tax-deductible amount of the donation. We note this on the final donation receipt you’ll receive from us via email.
If you’d prefer NOT to receive rewards with a cash value (rewards only require funds when we mail physical items to donors), please just let us know. Physical item rewards are marked with a (+) at the end of the reward name.
We’re always happy to send them (they’re budgeted for), but we also know some people prefer we don’t spend funds on rewards. If you’d prefer no rewards with a direct monetary value attached, simply do the following:
1. Click the Add Comment link on the Donation Form, as noted below.
2. Type “No physical rewards please” in the Comment Box, and click the SAVE button.
Each reward is different, timing-wise. Here’s the exact schedule:
1. Shout Out / Thank You: These begin on Sept. 7, 2024.
2. Trailer & Clips First Look: Updated monthly (first week of each month)
3. Name in End Credits: Final cut of film (TBD 2025)
4. CTWF Coffee Mug: Processed monthly (first week of each month)
5. Mini Movie Poster: TBD 2025
6. CTWF T-Shirt: Processed monthly (first week of each month)
7. Blu-Ray / DVD: TBD 2025
8. Executive Producer / IMDB Credit: IMDB monthly. Film Credit: Final cut of film (TBD 2025)
Yes, rewards are definitely cumulative. For example, a donation of $3,000 not only includes the Executive Producer Credit, but also ALL the reward tiers below it as well.
Yes, rewards are project-based, not phase based. For example, if you donate three different times across multiple fundraising phases, and those donations add up to $3,000, you’ll reach the Executive Producer Credit reward threshold.
Change the World Films is one of the top nonprofits in the world, and that’s not an exaggeration, when it comes to allocating funds to the mission at hand (vs. administrative work, salaries, etc.). We raise money for specific projects and specific tasks, where all the work being funded directly serves the mission — in this case completing the FTD Documentary and putting in place any new programs we develop directly tied to the overall dementia crisis.
For our current Phase 1 of fundraising, ALL FUNDS in this phase (outside of the small percentages taken by payment processors and allocated to rewards), pay for editing hours. Period. Phase 1 is simply for the extensive editing work needed to prep for Phase 2, when we film the final segments.
