Minnesota's day of giving:
Give to the max day
Give to the Max Day is Minnesota's annual statewide giving movement, and we're excited to participate once again! Since 2009, this grassroots event has raised more than $330 million for local organizations, with last year alone bringing in a record-breaking $37 million for nonprofits and schools across the state.
Why Wings for Widows is Participating
As a lean organization operating with just 1.5 staff members, every dollar you give makes a significant impact. Your unrestricted donations allow us to invest in the infrastructure and technology that keeps our operations efficient—which means more of your contribution goes directly into our programs that support widows, rather than administrative costs.
When you give through GiveMN.org, your generosity works even harder for our mission. Not only does your gift fund our vital programs, but it also qualifies Wings for Widows for additional grant prizes throughout the campaign.
Why Give Through GiveMN.org?
When you donate through our GiveMN.org page, your gift does double duty:
* Your contribution directly supports widows in our community through our programs and services
* We become eligible for additional grant prizes from the Give to the Max Day prize pool, including hourly $500 Golden Tickets, $1,000 prizes, Power Hour awards, and a $10,000 grand prize
Early Giving Starts November 1st!
You don't have to wait until November 20 to make an impact! Early giving begins November 1, and every donation made between November 1-20 enters us for prize drawings. The campaign culminates on Give to the Max Day, Thursday, November 20.
Your support helps us maintain our commitment to operational excellence while expanding our reach to serve more widows in need.
Make your donation count twice!
When you give through our GiveMN.org page, your contribution supports Wings for Widows and qualifies us for additional grant prizes throughout the campaign—including hourly Golden Tickets, Power Hour awards, and a $10,000 grand prize. Perfect for credit card donations.
