Hundreds of schools and nonprofit organizations across Minnesota are preparing for Give to the Max Day 2026, the state’s largest 24-hour online giving campaign.
The annual event, scheduled for Thursday, November 19, kicks off the year-end giving season and provides an opportunity for organizations to raise money for their programs and services.
Give MN Executive Director Jenna Ray says the campaign comes at an important time for participating organizations, with a significant portion of their annual funding potentially coming in during the final weeks of the year.
“This is a really critical moment in their year; they might realize up to 30% of their revenue for the coming year between now and December 31st. And this campaign, Give to the Max, is really the best way to begin that season in a good way for our friends all around the state who are doing good work,” Ray said.
Ray says the campaign represents thousands of fundraising goals and hopes across Minnesota. She hopes participating organizations will reach the goals they have established for this year.
She also encouraged Minnesotans to consider supporting the causes that matter most to them, including schools, outdoor recreation, arts and culture.
“All of the things that we depend on here in Minnesota are powered by Give to the Max, and I would just invite folks to lean in and give generously whatever they can this year,” Ray said.
Those interested in donating can find participating organizations and make contributions online at GiveMN.org.
