Every November, Minnesotans across our state come together to celebrate generosity during Give to the Max (GTMD). Over the last 16 years, our state’s annual giving holiday has helped nearly one million donors to give $330 million to 14,000 of their favorite Minnesota causes.

And while we know gifts are made to and from every county in the state, on- and offline, during Give to the Max, we also know that nonprofits across Greater Minnesota—especially rural communities—receive a disproportionate level of funding and support than urban and suburban areas. A statewide giving day like Give to the Max is a great time to support organizations that are working to help our rural communities thrive. 

For Give to the Max 2025, GiveMN is thrilled to partner with five organizations to help amplify giving and sharing in Greater Minnesota!

Southwest Initiative Foundation, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation, West Central Initiative, and Initiative Foundation have stepped up to be Regional Amplifiers for GTMD25. Through this partnership, GiveMN is able to add additional regional prize grants for their Greater Minnesota regions with this support!

Below, learn more about these regional amplifiers and the additional prize grants available to organizations in their region.
