We are thrilled to introduce Alsa Bruno and Nina Gazel, GiveMN’s new VISTA Americorps members.  Thanks to their year of service, GiveMN is able nearly DOUBLE our team and capacity to serve nonprofits, schools and donors in an incredibly efficient way.  Without further ado… our new staff members!

Alsa (pronounced a little like “I’ll say!”) will be the Outreach & Partnership Coordinator for Schools, working with the Saint Paul Public Schools Foundation and GiveMN to help us connect with and empower public schools to maximize the impact of GiveMN for their fundraising. Alsa is a 2012 graduate of Carleton College with a B.A. in both Theatre and Cinema & Media Studies.

Nina will be the Outreach & Partnership Coordinator for Nonprofits, working with nonprofits across the state to help them grow their online fundraising capacity and connecting new organizations to the tools that GiveMN has to offer. Nina is also a 2012 graduate of Carleton College with a B.A. in Political Science – International Relations.

We came up with an unconventional Q&A for our new folks. We hope this will give all of us some special insight into their souls. Yeah, sounds deep and serious, but it’s really not.

And, since we failed to officially welcome our newest full-time staff member Dan Moore, Development & Partnerships Manager, to the team in September, we’re asking him to share a little of his personality with us by answering these questions too.

Nina

Q: When you hear the word “give,” what do you think of? How about “inaniloquent?”

A: When I hear “give,” I think of giving a part of myself, whether that be time, energy, or money.  “Inaniloquent” makes me think of the seen in finding Nemo where he cannot pronounce “anemone.”

Q: What is your favorite thing about Minnesota?

A: The accent. I cannot help but smile when someone says “you betcha!” Other favorite Minnesota pronunciations include: swag, dragon, and awesome.

Q: Favorite movie quote?

A: Anything from Robin Hood Men in Tights.

Q: If you were stranded on a dessert island (yes, dessert) and could only bring one item with you, what would it be and why?

A: My Jeopardy iPhone app.

Q: Okay, so you get rescued from the dessert island after 6 months and you’re sick of sweets. What is the first thing you want to do when you get back to civilization and why?

A: Sit on my couch with my roommate while watching horrible reality television and eating cheese.

Q: How many more of these seemingly irrelevant and strange questions are you willing to answer?

A: My tolerance for strange and irrelevant questions is extremely high (I share an office with Alsa!)

Q: Why is working at GiveMN the best job in the world? (Yes, this is a known fact, we just want to see if you can articulate it.)

A: The staff is incredibly supportive and friendly but also loves getting down to business. The GiveMN swag is also a plus!

Alsa

Q: When you hear the word “give,” what do you think of? How about “inaniloquent?”

A: When I hear the word “give”, I think of heart… no, possibility! “Give”, to me, represents the central concept of service, the idea that something will willingly be passed from one to another, ideally for the other’s benefit, the literal root of the word “gift”.  It is (again, ideally) a selfless act designed to display a form of care and effect a positive change in the life of the receiver. And it can be done in so many different ways! A billionaire can give money to a scholarship foundation, giving the foundation the support it needs to give a student a shot at a stronger education. A homeless man can give a compliment to a stranger on a train, giving the stranger the opportunity to learn about themselves and meet someone new. A soccer player can give her all on the field to give her fans the gift of seeing how amazing she is at their favorite sport (not to mention the gift of having something to sing about at the bars later).  “Give” makes me think of the opportunity to be made happy and I love it.

“Inaniloquent” makes me think of a wild tongue… like, the sound your tongue would make if it tried to run out of your mouth. I can only hope it’s onomatopoetic.

Q: What is your favorite thing about Minnesota?

A: The people I’ve met in it.  The Minnesotans I’ve met have been, for the most part, willing to accept when something doesn’t make sense and work to make it better, even when it comes to “breaking tradition” in order to make life better for other people.

Q: Favorite movie quote?

A: “When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me flying around in invisible pieces.” -Hushpuppy of Beasts of the Southern Wild

Q: If you were stranded on a dessert island (yes, dessert) and could only bring one item with you, what would it be and why?

A: A functional Iron Man suit.  Dessert is great, but if I was stranded on an island covered in it, it would count as a main course and would no longer be dessert.  So I’d Tony Stark it out of there.  But before I left, I’d use my Iron Man powers and eat a bucket of ice cream, pecan pralines, and peach cobbler before high-tailing it.

Q: Okay, so you get rescued from the dessert island after 6 months and you’re sick of sweets. What is the first thing you want to do when you get back to civilization and why?

A: Watch a current movie.  To quote James Baldwin, "The country's image of the Negro which hasn't very much to do with the Negro, has never failed to reflect with a kind of terrifying accuracy the state of mind of the country." I feel this is true of how a society displays its disposition toward many topics, from homosexuality to the achievement gap to what is socially acceptable to wear in public.  A lot can change in 6 months.  Maybe I’d be better off staying on my dessert island.

Q: How many more of these seemingly irrelevant and strange questions are you willing to answer?

A: Not a single one more.

Q: Why is working at GiveMN the best job in the world? (Yes, this is a known fact, we just want to see if you can articulate it.)

A: The staff is willing to listen to new ideas and constantly work for what will best serve the community. Honestly, that is so huge. There is an earnest desire and capability to do what is best for the people we serve.  Of course this means the work is sometimes very strenuous, but it is driven by passion and that is my #1 reason for going to work every day.

Dan

Q: When you hear the word “give,” what do you think of? How about “inaniloquent?”

A: I think of the gifts my family has made to the community for generations. Not cash gifts necessary, but giving of their passion, energy, time, and safety. Inaniloquent? Loquacious.

Q: What is your favorite thing about Minnesota?

A: Honestly? The lack of reptiles. Fear of snakes is about all I have in common with Indiana Jones. Aside from that, I love “Minnesota Nice” for the way neighbors shovel each other’s sidewalks and show up late to work because they were helping a neighbor drive out of a drift. There’s no neighbor like a Minnesotan!

Q: Favorite movie quote?

A: “It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark out, and we’re wearing sunglasses.” “Hit it!” – Jake and Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers

Q: If you were stranded on a dessert island (yes, dessert) and could only bring one item with you, what would it be and why?

A: Ooo… a dessert island? I’d bring a spoon. You can eat cakes and brownies with a spoon, but ice cream and pudding with a fork would be difficult.

Q: Okay, so you get rescued from the dessert island after 6 months and you’re sick of sweets. What is the first thing you want to do when you get back to civilization and why?

A: Grill a steak. I’ll need some yummy protein after all that dessert.

Q: How many more of these seemingly irrelevant and strange questions are you willing to answer?

A: As many as you can think of, as long as you don’t ask me to name a food that can’t be improved with the addition of either bacon or chocolate. Assuming you like bacon and you like chocolate, which I do, there is no food on Earth that can’t be improved by adding one of those things.

Q: Why is working at GiveMN the best job in the world? (Yes, this is a known fact, we just want to see if you can articulate it.)

A: Where else can you work on behalf of thousands of organizations and donors every day to contribute to their success and improving our community?

MINNEAPOLIS/SAINT PAUL, MINN. – December 1, 2012 – The gift of charitable giving is just a click away this holiday season. GiveMN is proud to announce that GiveMN Giving Cards are now available in three new designs at GiveMN.org. GiveMN Giving Cards work just like traditional gift cards, but instead of redeeming the card for merchandise or services, a giving card is used to make a donation to the cardholder’s charity or school of choice.

GiveMN Giving Cards are tax deductable for the purchaser and can be purchased in $10, $25, $50, $100 or $250 denominations. The cards are redeemable at GiveMN.org where the cardholder can choose from among GiveMN’s catalog of thousands of Minnesota nonprofits or schools, or over one million U.S. nonprofits.

“GiveMN Giving Cards make a fantastic gift for virtually anyone on your list and are extremely easy to gift,” GiveMN Executive Director Dana Nelson said. “They are appropriate for this season of giving in that they allow the purchaser and the recipient to feel connected to the good work of nonprofits and schools in their community.”

GiveMN Giving Cards are also a great last minute gift that can be sent via email and delivered instantly or scheduled for delivery for a later date and time. They can also be printed out for easy inclusion in a greeting card.

Branded bulk order giving cards available

GiveMN Giving Cards are available in bulk order as printed cards and can be customized with a company logo. Printed GiveMN Giving Cards are a great way to recognize employees for performance, employment anniversaries, birthdays or other occasions, or to share with clients or vendors. They also make great giveaway or raffle gifts and communicate an organization’s commitment to the community. The minimum order is 250 cards and the minimum card denomination is $10. Contact info@givemn.org to inquire about an order.

MINNEAPOLIS – Nov. 16, 2012 – Give to the Max Day, Minnesota’s annual 24-hour philanthropic marathon, raised $16,391,905 for 4,381 local nonprofits and schools, breaking the previous state and national records for charitable giving. (Download the full results report). More than 53,000 people logged on to www.GiveMN.org to donate to their favorite nonprofits and schools, hoping that matching grants and prize money could further their charitable contributions. During last year’s Give to the Max Day, 47,534 donors raised $13.4 million for 3,978 nonprofit organizations. 

Among these incentives were Leaderboard Grants including the top prizes of $12,500, $5,000 and $2,500 which were given to the nonprofit organizations and colleges that received the most dollars during Give to the Max Day in their respective categories. This year, the following organizations took home the top leadership prizes:

• Main Leaderboard: Cretin-Derham Hall
• Medium Leaderboard: Shir Tikvah Congregation
• In addition, donations from one nonprofit donor and one school donor were randomly selected each hour and given the “Golden Ticket,” (see the list) which tacked on an additional $1,000 to their original contributions. Two supersized “Golden Tickets” worth $10,000 were awarded after the event, significantly boosting two lucky individuals’ gifts, benefiting Cannon River STEM School and Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota.
• Small Leaderboard: White Dove Foundation
• Colleges/Universities: St. Olaf College

“People across our state know that when we all pitch in, great things happen,” said Dana Nelson, executive director of GiveMN. “Give to the Max Day has become a celebration of Minnesota’s philanthropic spirit and nonprofits have done an excellent job of embracing the day.”

Give to the Max Day was created three years ago to increase charitable donations statewide by engaging as many donors as possible in a single day. This pioneering idea was made possible by GiveMN, a charitable giving website to help Minnesotans support their causes. This year, GiveMN improved convenience by adding mobile giving on smartphones and tablets, as well as scheduled donations, which allowed people to plan their Give to the Max Day donations in advance.

GiveMN is powered by Razoo, a critical partner in making Give to the Max Day a success. Based in Washington, D.C., Razoo is a venture funded social enterprise committed to transforming people’s lives through meaningful giving. Its secure online platform facilitates crowdsourced fundraising, streamlines the donation process and offers a suite of free and easy-to-use fundraising tools that inspire individuals and nonprofits to give and fundraise online. 

Special thanks to the Give to the Max Day sponsors, which include John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Minnesota Community Foundation, The Mosaic Company and Youthprise. 

Bank’s Partnership with GiveMN’s Online Donation Vendor Puts $183,000 More Dollars in the Hands of NonProfits

As Minnesota nonprofits and schools gear up for GiveMN’s Give to the Max Day on November 15, would-be donors should know that more of their dollars will go to the nonprofit and school of their choice, thanks to a partnership with Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank.

In October 2010, U.S. Bank partnered with Razoo – the company that powers GiveMN’s robust online donation platform – to process all donations made through Razoo at a discount. The bank also waived select card processing fees.

The discounts allow more donation dollars to make their way to nonprofits and schools. In fact, since the start of U.S. Bank’s relationship with Razoo, nearly $183,000 has been saved -- money that has gone to the nonprofits Razoo supports, including GiveMN.

The cost savings is particularly important to GiveMN, which was created to transform philanthropy in Minnesota by growing overall giving and moving more of it online. Through its engaging web platform launched in November 2009, GiveMN helps nonprofit organizations and schools of all sizes reach new donors, increases giving through fun and engaging campaigns and significantly reduces overall fundraising costs.

“The impact of U.S. Bank’s partnership with Razoo is much greater than the cost savings,” saidDana Nelson, executive director of GiveMN. “GiveMN was launched to take online giving to scale in Minnesota. To do that, we needed to offer the lowest, most competitive processing fee. U.S. Bank’s partnership with Razoo has enabled us to do just that. Better still, we’re able to do that because of a partnership with a well-respected, Minnesota-based bank.”

Give to the Max Day is a day for Minnesotans to come together to raise millions of dollars for thousands of nonprofits and schools in 24 hours – starting at midnight on November 15 through midnight on November 16.

To further support GiveMN, U.S. Bank will use its various social media channels to promote Give to the Max Day on November 15.

“Minnesota is already known for its incredible generosity, and Give to the Max Day is a great chance to showcase that,” said Elliot Jaffee, U.S. Bank’s Twin Cities market president. “As a proud Minnesota-based company, we hope to help make this year’s campaign another success.”

MINNEAPOLIS/SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Sept. 19, 2012 – For the first time, K-12 public schools can accept online donations through GiveMN.org. GiveMN is a nonprofit website designed to make donating money online as safe, easy and quick as possible.

Since 2009, GiveMN has been transforming philanthropy in Minnesota and has raised $50 million for more than 6,100 nonprofits.

“We are very excited to offer this opportunity to public schools in Minnesota,” said Dana Nelson, executive director. “We understand the budget crunches that schools face and think GiveMN is an innovative way for communities to come together to support their schools.” 

By setting up a fundraising page on GiveMN, schools will have the opportunity to reach donors throughout the world. Grandparents and relatives can easily support the students in their lives. It also allows alumni to give back to schools.

“GiveMN can help your efforts to provide more resources for students in the classroom,” Minnesota Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius said. “I would encourage schools to learn more about this great opportunity.”

Schools will also have the opportunity to participate in Give to the Max Day on Nov.15, 2012. Give to the Max Day is a day for Minnesotans to come together to raise millions of dollars for thousands of nonprofits and schools in 24 hours – starting at midnight on Nov. 15 through midnight on Nov. 16. During the event, K-12 public schools will be eligible for prize grants in the form of “Golden Tickets” – an hourly drawing to add $1,000 to a person’s donation, randomly selected from donors who give

to a K-12 public school each hour during the 24-hour event. At the end of the event, one K-12 public school’s donor will be drawn to receive a Super-sized Golden Ticket, adding $10,000 to that donation! To learn more or register your school, visit www.givemn.org/schools.

GiveMN partnered with Minnesota R&B band Mint Condition and their record label Shanachie Entertainment to sponsor the “Unsung” video contest. Individuals were invited to create a video to honor their own unsung hero—be it a mother, father, friend or mentor—using Mint Condition’s song “Unsung” which was written by Mint Condition Keyboardist Lawrence Waddell in honor of his own unsung hero—his mother.

GiveMN, Shanachie Entertainment and the manager and band members of Mint Condition wish to thank all of the contest entrants for taking the time to share such amazing videos of their heroes.

“We are extremely touched that all of the video submissions encapsulated the emotions we tried to convey with the song,” said Waddell. “We learned about parents, children, spouses, mentors and soldiers who have lived distinguished lives and left incredible legacies—all of whom were unsung. Thank you to each and every person who entered the contest for sharing these very personal and heartfelt tributes.”

DULUTH, MINN. – June 22, 2012 – In partnership with GiveMN, the Northland Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Lake Superior Zoological Society announced today that they are seeking donations to help Duluth and the surrounding area recover from devastating flooding that occurred on June 20, 2012.

“Hundreds of Minnesotans have been affected by this disaster,” said Red Cross, Northland Chapter Executive Director Judy Hanne Gonzalez. “We are helping more than 175 people who are staying in shelters across the region and we rely on the generosity of people throughout the state to do this work.”

The Red Cross is operating two shelters and supporting several more in the region. This weekend, the Red Cross will provide mobile feeding, damage assessment and mental health assistance as needed.

The Lake Superior Zoo experienced devastation early Wednesday morning, when more that 10 inches of rain caused severe flooding throughout the Northern Minnesota. Along with the loss of at least 11 animals from the zoo’s barnyard petting zoo, many of the zoo’s animal exhibits, bridges and buildings have been damaged. The zoo grounds are littered with debris. Structural damage is likely, however it will take time to assess the degree of damage that has occurred. Support is needed now and your donation will make a difference. 

Donors can simply visit http://givemn.razoo.com/team/2012-Duluth-Flood-Recovery-Fundraising to make a donation to the Lake Superior Zoological Society or the American Red Cross Minnesota Chapter. GiveMN provides donors with a free account to track, organize, and retrieve donation information and tax receipts at any time.

Minnesota’s fundraising website has helped thousands of nonprofits move more of their donations online

MINNEAPOLIS/SAINT PAUL, MINN. – May 2, 2012 – GiveMN announced today that it has surpassed $50 million in donations processed through its website, GiveMN.org. Since GiveMN was launched in November 2009, the online fundraising website has processed online donations for more than 6,200 nonprofit organizations. Those donations came from more than 154,000 individuals.

Minnesota Community Foundation and its partners launched GiveMN in 2009 and have seen online giving in the state grow at an amazing rate. GiveMN’s $50 million donation milestone places it in the same space as the national online fundraising platform Causes, which launched in 2007 and raised more than $40 million. GiveMN.org has been made possible by technology partners Razoo, the leading consumer giving platform in the country.

“We are thrilled to hit this major milestone of $50 million in such a short time. It is a reflection of Minnesotans’ generosity and we’re proud that Minnesota is a philanthropic leader in the digital age.” GiveMN Executive Director Dana Nelson said.

GiveMN’s most successful online fundraising campaign has undoubtedly been Give to the Max Day, held annually in November. During the 2011 Give to the Max Day event, a record breaking 47,534 donors logged on to GiveMN.org and donated more than $13.4 million to 3,978 Minnesota nonprofit organizations. The 2012 Give to the Max Day event is scheduled for November 15, 2012.

To celebrate GiveMN’s fundraising milestone, the organization will be sponsoring a $50 GiveMN giving card giveaway on Facebook and Twitter. A winner will be chosen randomly from among today’s posts, comments and tweets before 4 p.m. May 2, 2012.

Founded in 2006 and based in Washington, D.C., Razoo is an innovative platform that powers fundraising campaigns. Razoo provides easy-to-use, fun and social fundraising tools for campaigns, ranging from large-scale community giving events, to walk-a-thons and nonprofit pledge drives, to personal pages for friend-to-friend giving. To date, more than $34 million has been donated to thousands of nonprofits through Razoo. With over 150,000 members to date, Razoo is rapidly growing its donor community and inspiring a movement of givers. More information is available online at www.Razoo.com.
