Launched in 2009 as a collaborative venture led by the Minnesota Community Foundation, GiveMN provides nonprofits and schools with critically needed fundraising technology, tools, and education that build stronger, more equitable communities.  

What began as a single question -- how can giving be easier and more fun? -- led to the creation of Give to the Max Day (GTMD), our flagship program. As the host of GTMD, Minnesota’s largest giving holiday, since 2009, we have helped inspire more than 750,000 donors to give nearly $400 million to tens of thousands of nonprofits and schools in all 87 Minnesota counties, all 50 states, and 39 countries. That impact translates to tens of thousands of nonprofit jobs and millions of individuals served by the more than 10,000 organizations currently active in our state.

We also know that organizations need more than great tools and giving days to meet their missions and build individual, organizational, and community wealth. That's why GiveMN.org is active year-round, empowering nonprofits and donors to make connections 365 days a year. And it's why, since 2017, we’ve also provided fundraising education opportunities to help leaders not only understand the tools available to them but also why fundraising is important to advancing economic mobility and how to implement a meaningful strategy.
