On Give to the Max Day, Consider Be That Neighbor

We’ve all seen better years than 2020. One local charity that has helped us to see the good in our communities and bring us together this year is Be That Neighbor. November is the month of gratitude and also the month of giving back to Minnesota nonprofits through Give to the Max Day. Consider including Be That Neighbor in your giving plans.
Give to the Max Day is Be That Neighbor’s biggest fundraising opportunity of the year. While November 19 is technically “the big day,” donations made from today through November 19 count toward the goal. This year the goal is $10,000 with 100% of the proceeds going towards community programs.
Claudia Kittock, Executive Director, explains the genesis and mindset of Be That Neighbor: “Be That Neighbor is about community and only about community. We work to offer programs that build a sense of belongingness. We boost the good that is here and make sure that everyone knows about what is working in our community. Promoting and boosting our neighbors is the best kind of work and we are honored to do that.”
Be That Neighbor’s Guarantee: Every single penny of your donation will go directly to funding programs, including Mill City Singers, No Child Left Inside, Community Conversations and Yoga in the Park. Board members fund ALL overhead and administrative costs (as well as one third of the operating budget).
Here’s how you can support Be That Neighbor: Give here. Follow the charity on Facebook. Join any of their activities – whether it’s singing with the choir, supporting local heroes and businesses, making sure that children have opportunities to experience our great outdoors, or bringing important discussions into our communities.
Support the world you want to live in.
