THEME – “The Great Minnesota Give Together” MATCHING – We again encourage your organization to offer a match on

Give to the Max Day. Nonprofits that secure matching funds will be highlighted on GiveMN.org so donors have the chance to double their donation.

NONPROFIT GOLDEN TICKETS - Throughout the event, an individual donor will be randomly chosen every hour to win a “Golden Ticket.” An additional $1,000 will be given to the charity that received the donor’s original donation. One name will be randomly selected from throughout the event and announced the next day at the AFP luncheon to win their nonprofit a $10,000 Golden Ticket!

TRANSACTION FEES –GiveMN’s transaction processing fee is 2.9%. This rate is one of the lowest of any fundraising websites and has been made possible thanks to a partnership between US Bank and GiveMN’s technology partners Razoo.com

SOCIAL MEDIA BONANZA – We’ll be using Twitter, Facebook & YouTube to provide updates, highlight great donor/NPO stories, promote live events

Tips for Matching Grant Success

Clearly communicate to donors that they must look for the x2 money icon to ensure their donation is being matched.

Ask board members or others to put up a matching gift as their way of contributing – and then ask them to promote to their friends/colleagues

If you have multiple matching opportunities, keep an eye on them. You will want to close a page once the match has been met so that donors only contribute to current matching opportunities

Consider sending out 3 update emails staggered throughout Give to the Max Day – providing an update on your progress and encouraging donors to give throughout the day

Use the match to create a sense of urgency/excitement as part of your social media outreach

Offline donations can be added under the “Donations” tab, but don’t count towards the Give to the Max Day leaderboard
