Give to the Max Day is Nov. 17

   The 14th annual Give to the Max Day is Thursday, Nov. 17. Give to the Max is a statewide giving event that raises millions each year for more than 6,000 causes across Minnesota and beyond. Considered Minnesota’s holiday for generosity, donors have given more than nearly $255 million since the inaugural Give to the Max Day in 2009. 

   “Last year was the biggest Give to the Max Day yet, as donors came together to give $34 million to nearly 6,500 nonprofits and schools across Minnesota,” said Jake Blumberg, executive director of GiveMN, the nonprofit which hosts Give to the Max. “Minnesotans have shown their generosity during the last two tough years, and like all of us, organizations are feeling the effects of global inflation as they work to improve the lives of our neighbors. We ask donors to be as generous as they can again this year.”

   To participate in Give to the Max, donors may visit GiveMN.org and search for the causes they care about most by name, keyword, ZIP code, and more. Give to the Max’s “Early Giving” period begins November 1 and continues through Give to the Max Day on Nov. 17, with random drawings throughout for more than $100,000 in prize grants for Minnesota organizations.

   Additionally, each donation through GiveMN.org qualifies your organization of choice for additional grants from the Give to the Max Day prize pool, thanks to the continued generosity of the Bush Foundation. On Nov. 18, Give to the Max Day, GiveMN will award:

   • $500 Early Giving Golden Tickets daily on Nov. 1-16

   • $500 Golden Ticket prizes every 15 minutes on Nov. 17.

   • $1,000 Hourly Golden Ticket prizes hourly on Nov. 17.

   • $6,000 Power Hour Prizes, shared among the top three organizations based on amount raised between 10:00–10:59 a.m. and 10:00–10:59 p.m.

   • The grand prize of Give to the Max Day, a $10,000 Super-Sized Golden Ticket.
