GiveMN: Strengthening Minnesota’s Nonprofit Sector

GiveMN is a collaborative venture to transform philanthropy in Minnesota by growing overall giving and moving more of it online.

We know that philanthropy is changing quickly with new tools and technologies enabling exciting new ways to give. GiveMN is the innovative solution to put these tools to work for Minnesota. Individual philanthropic giving in Minnesota is a $4 billion market. In spite of the fact that online giving is far less expensive than traditional fundraising channels, it represents less than 1% of the median nonprofit organization’s fundraising. For every 1% of Minnesota individual giving we move online, we will save the nonprofit sector more than $5 million in fundraising expenses – not including the additional savings derived from shared infrastructure.

GiveMN’s main objectives are: building capacity of nonprofits to raise money more efficiently and effectively and growing giving through donor education and engaging promotions.

Leading Website for Online Donations

Today, GiveMN is one of the nation’s leading web portals for charitable giving, actually outpacing the amounts raised through Facebook's Causes. Through its Give to the Max Day events, GiveMN has set unprecedented online giving records and inspired communities across the nation to host their own giving day events. GiveMN’s engaging, efficient and secure features continue to draw new and returning users. Since its November 2009 launch, GiveMN has facilitated nearly $50 million in gifts from more than 145,000 donors for 6,800 nonprofits.
