Any day is a good day to give – whether it’s time, money or a life tip (look both ways before you cross the street). But today is an especially good day to donate – to that worthy cause you were always meaning to support – because it’s Give to the Max Day! Just what is Give to the Max Day? Well, it’s a special 24-hour period to highlight the work and worth of nonprofits and schools across Minnesota. It’s a day to give back.

Browse on your own here or consider supporting one of the worthy organizations below. And if you aren’t able to contribute financially, consider donating your time.

If you’re looking for an experience with your gifting – outside of volunteering time – consider supporting The Battle, an advertising and communications industry battle of the bands. All proceeds from the event will support an innovative collaboration between the University of Minnesota’s College of Liberal Arts, its student run CLAgency and The Brand Lab. Money raised will be used to start “The Battle” Scholarship Fund at the U of M to support students from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Purchase tickets here or donate directly to the scholarship.
