'Give to the Max' to Apple Valley Nonprofits on Wednesday
GiveMN.org will provide added incentives for nonprofit organizations and projects to bring in donations during the 24 hours of Wednesday this week, known as Give to the Max Day.
For the past two years, giveMN.org has given Minnesota residents the chance to easily donate online to their favorite nonprofit groups.
But each year, the stakes are raised on a single day for organizations to solicit donations.
During a 24-hour period known as Give to the Max Day, which this year starts 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, there are added bonuses for organizations that bring in donations (via credit card or debit card on the giveMN.org site only).
