Prizes are one of the hallmarks of what makes Give to the Max Day a fun and exciting day to be generous! In fact, thanks to our foundation and corporate sponsors and those who support GiveMN, we've been able to give away more than $2 million to nonprofits and schools across Minnesota since the inaugural Give to the Max Day in 2009!
