Tomorrow is Give to the Max Day
Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 2:00AM
There are a number of local nonprofits participating in Give to the Max Day on November 15. We participated last year, and I found it to be a positive experience. The system is easy to use, and I received emailed receipts formatted for tax filing purposes immediately.
Some organizations to consider are People Serving People, Minnesota Center for Book Arts, Mill City Commons, Mill City Summer Opera, The Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul, Minneapolis Parks Foundation (specifically the "Let's Go SiteSeeing" project),Friends of the Hennepin County Library, The Soap Factory and MacPhail Center for Music.
Launched in November 2009, GiveMN helps nonprofit organizations of all sizes reach new donors, increases giving through fun and engaging campaigns and significantly reduces overall fundraising costs. It is an independent 501(c) (3) supporting organization of the Minnesota Community Foundation. Donations through the GiveMN.org site to nonprofit organizations are tax deductible and irrevocable.
GiveMN will be offering several incentives to inspire nonprofit and donor participation in Give to the Max Day:
For each donation you make on November 15, your name is entered to win a Golden Ticket. One nonprofit donor and one K-12 public schools donor will be randomly chosen every hour to have $1,000 added to their donation. One nonprofit donor and one K-12 public schools donor will also be selected randomly from throughout the 24 hours of giving to have $10,000 added to their donation!
The three nonprofits that get the most people to donate during this event will receive $12,500 for first place, $5,000 for second place and $2,500 for third place.
A small donation can have a big impact. At People Serving People, for instance, a $50 donation will allow a parent to participate in the employment assistance program. This program has helped hundreds of parents secure a job to support their families.
