GiveMN is an organization that leads community fundraising efforts like Give to the Max Day. The organization felt compelled to help during the COVID-19 pandemic, so they created #GiveAtHomeMN—a virtual fundraising event taking place May 1-8 for all nonprofits across Minnesota.
#GiveAtHomeMN for Children’s Minnesota
Children’s Minnesota needs you – our supporters, contributors, advocates – more than ever. COVID-19 has impacted us in many ways, and we need your help to continue to care for the most amazing people on earth—kids!
When you participate in #GiveAtHomeMN and give to Children’s Minnesota, you are donating to our Urgent Needs Fund—a fund that allows us to place philanthropic support where it’s needed most.
How your #GiveAtHomeMN donations help Children’s Minnesota
As a nonprofit, we rely on donations from our generous community now more than ever. If you are looking to support COVID-19 efforts, please consider donating. Here are just a few examples of how we are using funds donated right now:
Supplies
We will use funds to gather supplies that continue to keep our patients, their families and our staff safe and healthy.
Technological support
Technological support allows us to offer services like telehealth, or virtual care, which gives our staff the chance to treat patients from the safety of their own homes.
Financial support
Families who have a child with health needs who also might be facing the reality of being out of work due to COVID-19 can receive financial help from us for their bills.
