Giving Hearts Day February 10th

On February 10, 2011, Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) held the 4th annual Giving Hearts Day. For one day only, DMF and other generous donors matched contributions of $10 or more made online to benefit all of the charitable causes listed here. The selection process for participants was competitive as there are more organizations eligible to participate than funding available.

Giving Hearts Day is an innovative, online fundraising program made possible through a partnership between Impact, Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF), nonprofits trained through the Impact Institute and other community donors. This 24 hour fundraising event reinforces the Institute’s High Impact Fundraising Training by giving nonprofits an opportunity to use the concepts they learned to raise awareness about their organizations, identify new donors, and secure more money for their missions.

Each participant will be eligible to receive up to $4,000 in DMF match funding, and additional awards of $20,000, $15,000, $10,000, $7,500, $5,000, $3,000, and $1,500 if they are one of the top seven online fundraisers.

There will also be a friendly competition for additional incentive grants for the participants:

A $500 incentive grant will be awarded to the GHD nonprofit that receives donations from the most ND cities.
The donor who makes the single largest donation will be given the opportunity to select a GHD nonprofit to receive an additional $500 grant.
The donor who contributes to the most nonprofits (i.e., one donor gives to 10 GHD nonprofits) will be given the opportunity to select a GHD nonprofit to receive an additional $500 grant.
The GHD nonprofit that receives donations from the most donors (not dollar amount but single individual donors) will receive an additional $500 grant.
The GHD nonprofit that receives donations from the most U.S. states will receive an additional $500 grant.
The GHD nonprofit that uses the most creative and effective marketing strategy for GHD will receive an additional $500 grant.
