SUMMARY:Give to the Max Day\, Early Giving Starts Now!
DESCRIPTION:Join us\, Early giving starts today!\n  \nHere’s why your support during Give to the Max 2025 matters: \n🫶 We have $20\,000 in matching gifts available thanks to our generous Board of Directors and Fairview Health Services.\n \n🥕 Your gift will help youth learn job skills through paid employment\, cook food grown by their peers in their own neighborhood\, and restore green spaces right here on the East Side of St. Paul. Every dollar becomes seeds\, skills\, and the deep confidence that comes from creating something beautiful and nourishing.\n \n💚 Like many nonprofit organizations\, we’ve been hit by fundraising challenges this year and are facing a funding gap. This gap is limiting our ability to provide work hours for our youth interns. Our interns show up with dedication and heart\, and they deserve the hours they need to do their work well\, both for themselves and our community.\n \n🎫 All donations made on GiveMN’s site are entered in drawings for Golden Ticket prizes to nonprofits of up to $10\,000. Simply give $5 or more (especially on Nov 20) to give us a chance to win!\n \n⭐ We have a 4-star rating (the highest) on Charity Navigator and Platinum Transparency (the highest) on Candid. We’re also the second-place winner of the 2025 Twin Cities Business Best of Business Readers’ Choice Award in the Charitable Organizations category. \nThank you so much! Small gifts add up to big impacts!
