Minnesota's Give to the Max Day (11/16/11) Raised $13.5 Million

Give to the Max Day in Minnesota raised $13.5 million for participating nonprofit organizations.  As cited in a Pioneer Press article today (11/17/11), "Minnesota nonprofits pulled out all the stops during the local one-day online giving event, Give to the Max Day."

"We started it, but thousands of Minnesota nonprofits have made it their own," said Dana Nelson, executive director of GiveMN.org, a website begun two years ago to help nonprofits collect donations. When GiveMN was launched in 2009, Nelson and her team staged the first Give to the Max Day to draw attention to the site and kick-start giving. To her surprise, donors gave more than $14 million to Minnesota charities that day. In 2010, the event drew more than $10 million for more than 5,000 Minnesota charities."

DARTS supporters contributed more than $7,500 during Give to the Max Day 2011. Thank you!
