Giving Hearts Day

Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour online give-a-thon for non-profit organizations in western Minnesota and North Dakota. The event is hosted every year by the Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) and Impact Foundation to help participating charities dramatically increase fundraising success by creating awareness and a 24-hour window of participation that spurs donors to action.

Gifts made to the Mayville State University Foundation through the efforts of Giving Hearts Day will be applied to implementing Mayville State’s RN to BSN nursing program. Gifts of $10 or more (up to a total of $4,000) will be matched by the Dakota Medical Foundation. All gifts made to this project will also be matched at 50% by the North Dakota “Matching Fund for Enhanced Academics.”

To contribute to the RN to BSN program on Giving Hearts Day, Thursday, Feb. 13, go to impactgiveback.org and search for Mayville State University Foundation. For assistance with your online donation, you may stop at the Larson Alumni Center at Mayville State or the Goose River Bank in Mayville between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to make your gift and enjoy refreshments. Free blood pressure checks will be available.
