Give to the Max Day was created in 2009 to launch GiveMN, a collaborative venture led by the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation and many other organizations committed to helping make our state a better place. That initial spark touched off an outpouring of generosity — $14 million in 24 hours. Celebrating its 17th anniversary in 2025, Give to the Max Day has become Minnesota’s annual giving holiday, raising $300 million in its first 16 years. Every year, thousands of organizations and individuals generate donations and excitement for Minnesota causes that are working to improve the quality of life for all Minnesotans. Give to the Max Day has become a national model for giving days.
