Set it up once, and your generosity keeps giving all year long!
This process makes your donation stretch further to help Minnesotans in need. The campaign includes Charitable Federations, groups of charitable organizations that represent charities working on similar issues. This collaboration keeps administrative and fundraising expenses low, making your contribution dollars go as far as possible.
Donate to the cause that matters most to you––environment, education, women’s issues, breaking the cycle of poverty, and much more! Read the rest of this entry →
