Give to the MAX MN Day!

It is Give to the Max Day once again here in Minnesota, which means it's your chance to give what you can to a bunch of terrific nonprofits, including arts organizations, civil rights groups, schools, animal welfare groups and numerous others. Every $ helps and can set your organization up to win additional funds and matching grants. I just gave to PFund (LGBTQ arts and cultural funding foundation), the MN Women's Foundation, Headwaters Foundation for Justice (funds organizations working on social justice in MN), Heart of the Beast Puppet Theater (they really need it this year! Donate for May Day as well as other terrific programs) and MN Center for Book Arts. Some other organizations that I belong to and donate to the rest of the year but which you could donate to today, if so inclined: OutfrontMN (LGBTQ political and educational organization). KFAI Radio (multicultural music, news and programming), Twin Cities Daily Planet (free email newspaper with local news), The International Wolf Center (research and education on wolves), Quatrefoil Library (LGBTQ library and archives), 20% Theater (LGBTQ theater company), The Loft Literary Center (writing, reading, education), Feline Rescue MN (kitty rescue) and Theater Unbound (theater by women!). So, lots of options including these and many more. Give and boost - it feels great!
