Give to the Max Day 2022 is November 17th

(KNSI) — Nonprofit organizations across central Minnesota are getting ready to cash in during Give to the Max Day later this month.

The 14th annual 24-hour day of giving is November 17th. Give MN Executive Director Jake Blumberg says the tradition started here and has caught on elsewhere. “This is a uniquely Minnesota tradition. Give to the Max Day was really the first of its kind across the country for a giving event like this. And other states, other regions, other cities and other causes have adopted it.”

He says GiveMN.org is easy to navigate and find organizations you’re interested in supporting. If there’s more than one, he adds, it’s easy to find and support multiple nonprofits simultaneously. “Just like when we’re doing online shopping, we can fill a shopping cart with all the different things that we need and then just checkout once. You can do the same thing on GiveMN.org. You can fill your shopping cart with generosity and then checkout with one easy process.”

On Give to the Max Day, $500 will be added to one donation every 15 minutes. Every hour, a $1,000 golden ticket will be added to a donation, and at the end of Give to the Max Day, a $10,000 supersize golden ticket will be added to one nonprofit’s gift.

Last year, donors gave a record-breaking $34.3 million to 6,457 organizations, schools and nonprofits. Organizers say Give to the Max Day is Minnesota’s most significant annual giving holiday, raising more than $250 million in the last 13 years.
