Minnesota’s annual “giving holiday” is underway, and as usual the generosity is incoming.
As of midday Thursday, more than $20 million had been donated to about 5,200 organizations including schools and nonprofits.
In 2024, more than $37 million was donated to 6,556 organizations, an all-time record.
The day of philanthropy, now in its 17th year, began in 2009 through GiveMN as a fun way to “shop” for charitable endeavors as the holiday season approaches with Black Friday, Cyber Monday and all the other ways we are tempted to spend our money this time of year. It’s become a tradition for many people across the state.
This year, according to a GiveMN survey, top causes currently are animals, the environment and hunger relief.
