Give to the Max Day 2026

2026 has been a hard year for Minnesotans; in the aftermath of COVID and Operation Metro Surge, ADC's clients have faced unique challenges as Immigrants and Small Business Owners. While our community has shown incredible resilience in the face of these struggles, there is still much rebuilding to be done. 

This Give to the Max Day, we are calling on our supporters to give in support of Technical Assistance, Financial Education, and Access to Capital for the hard working entrepreneurs and families served by the African Development Center. 

Hanging in the lobby of the African Development center is a collaborative quilt project titled Color Complements (2013)

The spirit of togetherness in the face of difficulty is why this year’s Give to the Max Day theme is: 

Minnesota, Stitched: When Minnesota frays, giving mends the seams. 

Amidst challenging times, every gift made to the African Development Center provides a critical stitch in our patchwork blanket of support, covering our Immigrant neighbors across the state.

“From a piece of African fabric to a finished collaborative project, the making of this quilt is a story of inspiration and motivation.”

We are excited to announce Associated Bank as ADC's 2026 Give to the Max Day donation matching partner. 

Thanks to our partners at Associated Bank, the impact of each donation is doubled when you support this fundraiser during Give to the Max Day!
