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.
