1) Fill out the short registration form.

Anyone at your organization may fill out this form on your behalf. It's designed to be short, simple and streamlined. Once you're finished, click submit!

2) Make sure the To-Do list in your organization's administrative area is complete.

As part of the registration process, we require organizations to complete four actions in their administrative area: upload a logo, write a brief story/description of at least 50 words, sign up for electronic funds transfer (EFT) direct deposits for donations, and add text to their thank you page. You may access these by clicking "To-Do" at the top-left of your GiveMN.org administrative area.

Note: If your organization has successfully registered for GTMD in a previous year, it is likely that the items on your To-Do list will remain complete from before!

Once both of these requirements are complete, your registration will be approved and you will receive an email confirmation.

You may always check on your registration status at the top of your organization's administrative area! Additionally, we will send confirmation emails to all administrators when their organization's registration has been approved. And, we'll continue to send friendly reminders to register throughout the fall.

In most cases, your registration is automatically tied to the nonprofit that serves as your fiscal sponsor. Once a nonprofit registers for Give to the Max, all of their sub-organizations are immediately registered as well.

Absolutely! No matter your location, we encourage you to register for Give to the Max  if you think it would be advantageous for your organization to participate. However, only Minnesota-based nonprofits are eligible for prize grants and no-cost strategy sessions.

GiveMN also offers three specialized search filters to help connect new donors with organizations which data show are systemically underfunded. Through the registration form, you will see three prompts with our definition of organizations we invite to join the list. By checking that box, you will be included in those search results when your registration is approved.
