‘Give To The Max Day’ Raises $34 Million For Minnesota Charities and Non-Profits

(KDLM/MNN) – “Give to the Max” Day 2022 was another success for non-profits and schools around the state. Thursday’s 24-hour online campaign raised over 34 million dollars($34,067,008), just shy of the 2021 record of 34.3 million.

“Nationwide, giving trends were showing us that we could anticipate having a significantly smaller day,” says Give MN Deputy Executive Director Jenna Ray. “But Minnesotans showed up for their communities and for their neighbors. And, for that, we are unbelievably grateful.”

Ray says they were cautiously optimistic due to the tough economic times the country is going through.

“I think the thing that is exceptional about Minnesotans is that they understand and rise to the occasion and rise to that call to support their non-profit partners. We celebrate that every day, not just one day a year.”

Ray says tens of thousands of people from around Minnesota and the world gave generously on Thursday to 6,439 organizations in the state.
