$13,600 Matching Fund

We are thrilled to announce a $13,600 matching fund for our 2025 Give to the Max campaign! Several generous donors have contributed towards this matching fund to help us raise at least $27,200 for this vital year-end fundraiser.

Between now and the end of December, we need to raise a total of $55,000 in order to stay on track with our fundraising goals this season. Achieving our Give to the Max goal this month will be a huge step towards reaching our overall year-end goal.

Every Give to the Max donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $13,600! Please help us raise over $27,000 for Give to the Max this year. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Prize Drawings

Your online donations through this page make us eligible for special prize drawings from the platform host, GiveMN. Two years ago, we won $1,500 in random prize drawings on Give to the Max Day! Every donation matters, including early giving donations during the lead-up to Give to the Max Day itself on Thursday, November 20.

Offline donations via check will also be counted towards our Give to the Max goal and matching fund, but do not make us eligible for Golden Ticket prize drawings from GiveMN and their partners. See below for information about making an offline donation.
