Thursday, November 12, 2015 is Give to the Max Day in Minnesota. This annual event promotes online giving to your favorite schools and nonprofit organizations.
Previous Give to the Max days have spurred $14 million in donation within 24 hours to hundreds of organizations that help animals, education, arts, health, economic disparities, cultural groups, and more.
You can give any day of the year, however, donations made on GiveMN now through November 11 will be transacted on November 12, making some eligible for matching donations and other incentives.
What You Can Do
- Go to GiveMN to find a specific charity by name, or search by keyword or location.
- Choose an organization or school to learn more about it.
- Select the amount you’d like to donate ($10 or more) and securely enter your payment information.
The organizations you choose receive your donation and you receive a tax receipt via email.
Take advantage of Give to the Max to help the schools and nonprofit organizations dear to your heart. You have hundreds of charities to choose.
