SUMMARY:Give to the Max Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Take a moment to…Pause. Listen. Share.\nPause.\nAs your inbox and newsfeed is flooded this Give to the Max Day with important causes to support\, we ask you to pause to read Thee Da’s personal story – a woman who came to Minnesota as a refugee and works hard to support her children and find support for herself. \nListen.\nWhat we’re doing at KOM is too urgent not to speak up…\n– newly arrived families are finding community support\,\n– refugee adults are getting into stable careers\,\n– and youth are engaging in activities and college prep\,\nthanks to donors like you. The services we provide are lifelines for refugees and immigrants in a historic moment of need. \nShare.\nIf you’ve already given\, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Want to take your impact even further? Share Thee Da’s story with a friend\, a coworker\, or a neighbor. Your voice travels farther than any email we send or post we make. \nYour gift helps clients like Thee Da stay connected.\nKOM staff create spaces where our community feels safe to talk about their struggles and connect to the resources they need. Your generosity helps make that possible without interruption. \nJoin Minnesota’s day of giving from now through November 20th to show your support for refugees and immigrants in MN. Every contribution matters. \n  \nGive today \n  \nShare the story \n  \n“Give to the Max celebrates Minnesota’s spirit of generosity and how that generosity ripples across every community\, city\, and county in our state\,” said Jenna Ray\, executive director and CEO of GiveMN. “Every year\, the campaign starts at $0 and every year we are humbled by the power hundreds of thousands of gifts can have when our community gives together.” \nAbout Give to the Max Day\nGive to the Max Day was created in 2009 to launch GiveMN\, a collaborative venture led by the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation and many other organizations committed to helping make our state a better place. \nThat initial spark touched off an outpouring of generosity — $14 million in 24 hours. Celebrating its 17th anniversary in 2025\, Give to the Max Day has become Minnesota’s annual giving holiday\, raising $300 million in its first 16 years. Every year\, thousands of organizations and individuals generate donations and excitement for Minnesota causes that are working to improve the quality of life for all Minnesotans.
