Give To The Max Day 2016

Give To The Max Day

November 17^th

GiveMN links donors with organizations that are working to make Minnesota a better place. Its online giving website, GiveMN.org, enables charitable giving any time and any place, allowing people to donate with ease and enthusiasm. GiveMN brings innovation, energy and fresh ideas to Minnesota generosity. Give to the Max Day is an annual day of giving when Minnesotans come together and support their communities. Support the Arts in Hutchinson. Support the Hutchinson Center for the Arts. Every dollar can make a real impact on our community.

Hutchinson Center for the Arts provides vital administrative support to our 12 partner organizations, offer dynamic arts programming such as ARToberfest, Potluck Performances, HYPE 15, and more. HCA brings engaging local and regional artistic voices to the local gallery space, which remains free and open to the public. Your donation on Give to the Max Day also allows HCA to create more educational opportunities for all ages including our Afterschool Art Club, Summer Studio Sessions, and new Adult Workshops!

Your donation could help us win an extra $1,000 or even $10,000 for HCA!

Each hour on Give to the Max Day, one Golden Ticket of $1,000 will be awarded through a random drawing of all donations transacted during the previous hour.

Additionally, two Super-Sized Golden Tickets of $10,000 each will be awarded. The first will be drawn randomly from all successfully-processed donations scheduled through GiveMN.org between November 1, 2016 and November 16, 2016. The second will be drawn randomly from all gifts successfully processed on November 17, 2016.

But Wait! What about those credit card processing fees? How much are those? How much will actually go to Hutchinson Center for the Arts?

Good questions! Let’s be open and honest. GiveMN doesn’t just want to support raising dollars, they also promote healthy giving. And they’ve created a way for you to make sure 100% of your intended donation goes to your organization.

“GiveMN is excited to provide a feature that allows donors to pitch in just a little bit more! When you make a donation using GiveMN.org, you may cover the 6.9% fee on behalf of your chosen organization, ensuring that 100% of your donation goes directly to your favorite cause!

How does this work? During the donation process, you will be asked if you would like to cover this fee for your chosen organization. If you select yes, 6.9% will be added to your total. Your entire contribution amount is tax deductible, including the processing fee!

If you do not choose to cover the fee, the 6.9% processing fee will be deducted from your donation before it is disbursed to your favorite cause, as is standard across most major fundraising platforms. Additionally, if you select to make a recurring gift, your selection to cover the fee will only apply to the first gift made at this time.

All fundraising comes with direct and indirect costs. As a nonprofit, GiveMN is committed to transparency about the cost of fundraising for nonprofits and school, and what it takes for us to provide our service and meet our mission of growing giving in Minnesota.”
