During Give to the Max and all year-round, you can make a donation on GiveMN.org to the causes of your choosing! Simply visit GiveMN.org, search for the nonprofit or school you want to support, and click “donate!” You can also go to GiveMN.org/search to view organizations by cause type, location, and more. 

All donations made on GiveMN.org beginning November 1 through November 16 count toward Give to the Max Day totals and are eligible for prize grants.

Where you give depends on your passions! There are tens of thousands of organizations on GiveMN.org doing good work in their communities. Here’s some ideas to get you started:

• Make another gift to causes you have supported before. Use GiveMN.org to find your favorite causes and make a gift.
• Filter causes by category. From animals, to faith-based organizations, to emergency relief and beyond, looking for causes by the type of work they do is an easy way to narrow down your search. 
• Filter causes by location. Want to give to an organization working in your local community? Select “location” on our search page. Then, you can view organizations in a specific area! 
• Support organizations that are led by Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), primarily serve BIPOC communities, and/or primarily serve LGBTQ+ communities. Organizations led by BIPOC individuals receive significantly less funding than their peers, and organizations serving LGBTQ+ communities have fewer financial resources at their disposal. That’s why we offer specific filters to help amplify the work of nonprofits and schools that have identified themselves in these categories.

Yes! On average, 93% of donors add a little bit more to pay the processing fee associated with their gifts so that 100% of their donation goes to the organization they support. On behalf of the organizations you support, thank you for this additional generosity.

The processing fee on GiveMN.org covers credit card processing fees assessed by financial institutions, and ensures GiveMN.org remains a free, private, and accessible digital platform for Minnesota nonprofits and schools year-round. 

You can access your giving statements and donation receipts any time by logging into your free GiveMN.org account! Not only will a receipt be emailed to you after every donation you make, but a printer-friendly version of your receipt is always available to you in your account. As a reminder, all donations made through GiveMN.org are 100% tax-deductible.

Making a monthly donation to an organization is an excellent way to make a difference—thank you! When making your donation, you can simply select “monthly donation” instead of “one-time donation” to set up your recurring gift schedule. Read more about how to set up and manage your monthly donations on GiveMN.org.

Our team at help@givemn.org is available to answer your questions all year-round! If you have questions about your gift, donor account, need help troubleshooting your donation, or have any other questions about GiveMN.org, our team is just an email away. 

If you have questions about the impact of your gift or want to know more about the cause you’re supporting, we encourage you to reach out directly to the organization you donated to!
