GIVE TO THE MAX DAY:
is Wednesday, November 15

The Saint Paul Rotary Foundation is one of many nonprofit organizations throughout the state that will once again ask Minnesotans to display their record-breaking generosity by donating to their favorite charities and schools online at www.GiveMN.org during the fourth annual “Give to the Max Day” on Nov. 15.

During last year’s Give to the Max Day, 47,534 donors logged on to GiveMN.org. The result: $13.4 million raised for 3,978 Minnesota nonprofits, whose missions range from feeding the hungry, to protecting the environment, to promoting the arts. GiveMN hopes to again raise millions of dollars for thousands of nonprofits and schools, showcasing Minnesota’s unparalleled generosity to the world.

During Give to the Max Day 2012 the Saint Paul Rotary Foundation will be eligible for prize grants in the form of hourly “Golden Tickets” – an hourly drawing to add $1,000 to a donor’s donation, randomly selected from donors who gave during each hour of the event. One donor giving to a nonprofit and one donor to a K-12 public school will be drawn in the evening for a Super-sized Golden Ticket of $10,000 added to their donations.

GiveMN is powered by Razoo, a critical partner in making Give to the Max Day a success. Razoo is a venture funded social enterprise committed to transforming people's lives through meaningful giving. Its secure online platform facilitates crowdsourced fundraising, streamlines the donation process and offers a suite of free and easy-to-use fundraising tools that inspire individuals and nonprofits to give and fundraise online.
