Double your gift to FMR by giving on November 17th!

As you consider your charitable end-of-year giving this season, you can help FMR raise up to 100% more to protect your communitys land and water resources on Give to the Max Day – Tuesday, November 17th!

GiveMN is the destination for online charitable giving in Minnesota. Created by Minnesota donors and nonprofits for Minnesota donors and nonprofits, GiveMN is the best way to find and support the causes you care about.


Consider the impact: Every 1% of Minnesota personal donations that move online will save the nonprofit sector more than $5 million in fundraising expenses. That's putting a lot more of your donation dollars to work changing lives!


Visit www.GiveMN.org today.

  • Give local. Find your perfect Minnesotan match, whether you want to help cure cancer, fight illiteracy or feed the hungry.
  • Give fast. Make online donations quickly and easily via credit card to any U.S. nonprofit.
  • Give smart. Record all online and offline contributions and store receipts.

Mark your calendars for Give to the Max Day on November 17! On this day of giving, Minnesotans will come together on GiveMN.org to show the power of online giving.

When to give

Starting at 8:00 am on Tuesday, November 17th until 8:00 am on Wednesday, November 18th.

Why you should give via GiveMN.org on Give to the Max Day

Every donation made during Give to the Max Day will receive a portion of the $500,000 match, up to a maximum of $2,500. AND the three nonprofits that receive donations from the most individual donors will receive cash prizes, so no matter what size your gift, you are helping us raise even more money.
