Early giving for Minnesota’s signature holiday, Give to the Max Day, is now underway. Each year on a Thursday in November, GiveMN hosts Give to the Max Day, which benefits and celebrates nonprofits across the state.
The Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters relies on this virtual giving event every year. Funds raised on Give to the Max Day support our expert legal, scientific, and policy work to protect this precious Wilderness. Thanks to a generous group of donors, when you give between today and midnight on November 17, your dollars will be doubled up to $150,000! Make a 2X gift >>
