Give to the Max Day is November 15th!

Greetings from the Tyler Area Community Foundation!

GiveMN’s “Give to the Max Day” is coming up on Nov. 15th and we would like to provide you information about this fundraising campaign. GiveMN’s “Give to the Max Day” was created to raise as much money as possible for non-profit organizations like the Tyler Area Community Foundation in a 24 hour period. Since 2009, GiveMN has raised more than $48 million for more than 6,100 non-profits. GiveMN will continue there successful golden ticket opportunity and it will award 24 Golden Tickets in 2012. The Golden Tickets are $1,000 prize grants that will be given randomly every hour of the campaign. There will also be one supersized Golden Ticket valued at $10,000 which will be added to one lucky donor's gift.

In addition to the Golden Tickets, our partner organization, the Southwest Initiative Foundation (SWIF), will be giving out 2 Silver Tickets. Here is how the Silver Tickets will work: All donors who give to the Tyler Area Community Foundation’s general endowment fund during the 24-hour period will be eligible to have a $500 prize added to their gift, courtesy of matching funds from SWIF. Last year, Joyce Dass was a Silver Ticket winner. Two winners will be selected out of all community foundation partners of SWIF (there are 21 of us). A $10 gift to our endowment qualifies to the same extent as a $1,000+ gift (i.e. one gift equals one chance). The more gifts we receive, the better our chances!

We hope you will consider donating to our general endowment fund through the GiveMN “Give to the Max Day” and maybe we can receive a golden or silver ticket which will add to our endowment fund. So, mark your calendars for Nov. 15th and let your family, friends and neighbors know about this fundraising opportunity.
