Give to the Max started in 2009 as a one-time campaign to mark the launch of GiveMN.org, Minnesota’s digital home for generosity. The results of that day—$14 million raised in just 24 hours—blew everyone’s expectations out of the water, and a new Minnesota tradition was born. In fact, Give to the Max was one of the nation’s first online giving days and now serves as a national model for giving days across the country. In the years since, nearly one million donors have given more than $300 million to 10,000 nonprofits and schools as part of Minnesota’s giving holiday.

Mark your calendars—Give to the Max Day returns for a 16th year on Thursday, November 21, with Early Giving beginning on November 1.
