Prizes

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!

Below, read more about the prize structure for GTMD19.

In addition to our expanded prize pool for registered organizations, we're also bringing back a number of our fan-favorite Give to the Max Day prizes to add to the day's excitement. All nonprofits who meet our prize eligibility requirements will be in the running for these prizes. Though we encourage organizations to register for GTMD19 to be eligible for the expanded prize pool above, registration is not required for the prizes below.
