A San Diego relief charity that provides aid to Uganda has taken home the $1-million first prize in the Chase Community Giving contest, determined in an online vote, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Invisible Children was declared the winner of the JPMorgan Chase giveaway after the voting on social site Facebook closed late Friday night. The group plans to use the prize on water, education, and awareness projects in the African nation, and also pledged $100,000 to Haiti relief.

The contest generated some 11th-hour controversy as the Isha Foundation, a Tennessee charity working in India, gained tens of thousands of votes on the final day, many from users with suspicious-sounding names and largely inactive Facebook accounts, the article says.
