Minnesotans donated a record $30.4 million to nonprofits and schools during the annual Give to the Max campaign, surpassing the previous record of nearly $22 million set in 2019.
GiveMN Executive Director Jake Blumberg said donors gave money to more than 6,100 organizations, which is also a record.
"What we were hoping donors would do and what we directly asked over and over again for donors to do was to expand their generosity this year," he said.
Second Harvest Heartland Food Bank received more than $900,000 in donations. That was the most money given to a single organization this year.
