				  later than 30 days from the last date donors could timely recommend an alternate,
				  unless the charitable fundraising platform or platform charity determines the
				  alternate is not eligible. If an alternate is timely recommended and determined to
				  be not eligible, the charitable fundraising platform or platform charity shall
				  select another alternate charitable organization, and send donated funds to the
				  alternate selected by the charitable fundraising platform or platform charity no
				  later than 30 days from the last date donors could timely recommend an alternate. If
				  an alternate is not timely recommended, the charitable fundraising platform or
