Northwest Minnesota Foundation to offer grant prizes to nonprofits for Give to the Max day

BEMIDJI — Nonprofits and schools in Northwest Minnesota that choose to take part in this year’s Give to the Max Day on Nov. 21 will be eligible for grant prizes through the Northwest Minnesota Foundation.

Northwest Minnesota Foundation is among five Minnesota Initiative Foundations that have signed on as regional amplifiers for Give the Max Day in partnership with GiveMN, which hosts Give the Max Day, a release said.

According to the release, over the last 15 years, Give to the Max Day has helped nearly one million donors to give $330 million to 14,000 of their favorite Minnesota causes.

The potential of winning grant prizes has been a longstanding component of Give to the Max Day, as more than $100,000 is available to those participating nonprofits.

While gifts are made to and from every county in Minnesota, GiveMN recognizes that nonprofits across Greater Minnesota receive a disproportionate level of funding and support than urban and suburban areas, explained the release.

With the addition of the regional amplifiers, specific prizes will now be available to participating nonprofits in specific regions of Greater Minnesota as well.

Eligible organizations must be located in Northwest Minnesota Foundation service area that includes Red Lake and White Earth Nations, along with Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake Falls and Roseau Counties.
