First-of-its-kind Web site lets Minnesotans support favorite charities online GiveMN.org
GiveMN.org, an innovative new online resource, is giving Minnesotans a new way to give and helping create a stronger nonprofit community for Minnesota.
GiveMN is a first-of-its-kind online giving tool that makes the donation process easier and more convenient. It is the first giving-site focused specifically on nonprofits in a single state, though users also can access all registered United States 501(c)3 organizations. Donors can go to GiveMN anytime to support their favorite causes or to learn about organizations that match their charitable giving goals. They can also use the site to manage all of their charitable giving by recording online and offline contributions and storing receipts.
A group of Minnesota funders came together to create GiveMN to take advantage of the many benefits that online giving offers both donors and nonprofits. While the median nonprofit raises less than 1 percent of its funds online today, online giving is far less expensive for nonprofits than traditional fundraising methods, such as direct mail or grant writing.
Through GiveMN, Minnesota nonprofits can showcase their work and introduce their organizations to new donors. Customized profiles of Minnesota charities detail their individual missions, programs and events.
GiveMN will sponsor promotions throughout the year to create new and exciting incentives for giving. For example, planned matching promotions will give donors the opportunity to have their gifts to Minnesota charities matched through GiveMN.
GiveMN is an independent 501(c)3 organization that is a supporting organization of the Minnesota Community Foundation. Many partners shaped GiveMN to build upon Minnesota's strong tradition of philanthropy, including Blandin Foundation, Briggs & Morgan, Central Minnesota Community Foundation, Ecolab Foundation, F.R. Bigelow Foundation, Greater Twin Cities United Way, HealthPartners, Initiative Foundation, The Minneapolis Foundation, Northland Foundation, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, The Saint Paul Foundation, Southern Initiative Foundation, Southwest Initiative Foundation, West Central Initiative Foundation and Women's Foundation of Minnesota.
