DONATE

Donate to Charities

Last year, our community gave $29 million to charities for Giving Hearts Day! Your business can play a crucial role in uplifting the missions of charities in our region, positively impacting health and quality of life by doing so.

There are three ways to donate as a Giving Hearts Business:

Give Directly

Match Employee Gifts

Purchase Giving Cards

Give Directly

Organizations and employees can choose to give their financial gift directly to the participating charity(ies) starting when early giving opens on January 13 through the end of the day February 13. Gifts can be made via check to the charity(ies) of your choice or through an online donation.

Give to a Charity

Get Inspired!

  • Bell Bank’s Pay it Forward program gifts employees with dollars to help someone. Many choose to donate their gift on GHD
  • Zerr Berg Architects & Gehrtz Construction Services hosts a fundraising contest. The more dollars raised, the more days one of their partners has to do a crazy activity (e.g. shave their mustache, or wear a pink construction helmet). 
  • Mojo Fit Studios holds classes that fundraise for GHD charities based on how many people attend their classes. This brings clients and employees together to make a difference.

Match Employee Gifts

The Giving Hearts Day Matching Program is a great way to offer your employees matching funds for their Giving Hearts Day online donation with minimal administrative work for the business. Your company has the ability to set match parameters around how much you will match per employee. You will receive a custom URL link that your employees will use to enter the Giving Hearts Day site, make their donation to the charity of their choice, and see your company match within their cart

  • Sister companies Enclave and Valor Contracting offer matching gifts and GHD gift cards to employees.
  • West Acres offers matching dollars plus gives GHD gift cards to their employees to encourage and inspire giving.
  • Gate City Bank offers matching dollars for both financial gifts and for volunteer hours.

Purchase GHD Giving Cards

Help your employees, customers, clients, members, and beyond experience the joy of giving with a GHD gift card. The GHD gift card works just like a regular gift card, except instead of a “purchase”, the gift card dollars are donated to a charity of the recipient’s choice. There are so many fun ways to utilize GHD gift cards. From employee Christmas gifts to event prizes, to social media giveaways, to random acts of kindness... and everything in between!

*Check back on November 4th for a link to purchase giving cards!

  • BCBSND and their Caring Foundation gifts employees GHD gift cards after they spend time volunteering for a charity.
  • Dale Carnegie of ND and Northwest MN sent GHD gift cards to clients as Christmas gifts.
