In the past month, Minnesotans have shown off their generosity as local communities support each other in countless ways through the COVID-19 global pandemic.

At the same time, many nonprofits across the state have had to cancel long-standing fundraising events, while also juggling increased demand for their critical services. That’s why GiveMN is partnering with the offices of Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan, as well as nonprofits and schools across Minnesota, to host #GiveAtHomeMN May 1–8.

#GiveAtHomeMN is a weeklong virtual fundraising event taking place on GiveMN.org. Hosted by GiveMN, the Minneapolis-based nonprofit behind the annual Give to the Max Day, #GiveAtHomeMN will raise funds and build awareness for nonprofits and schools through one week of collective giving.

Donors making gifts as part of #GiveAtHomeMN will have the chance to have their generosity boosted thanks to $68,000 in bonus grants, made possible through support from the Bush Foundation and U.S. Bank. GiveMN will award these grants through 200 random “Golden Ticket” drawings from donations made — $250 will be awarded every hour May 1–8 and $2,500 will be awarded at the end of each day of the campaign.

GiveMN recommends donors give early and give often to increase their chances of winning a Golden Ticket for their organization.

Additionally, GiveMN will be donating its proceeds from the platform processing fee from March through May 2020 as a rebate back to the Minnesota nonprofits and schools raising money on GiveMN.org.
