Give to the Max for Nicollet County History

The Nicollet County Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and sharing Nicollet County’s rich and varied history. On Give to the Max Day, November 21, we aim to raise $5,000 to support our ongoing efforts.

Early Giving Starts November 1:

Don't wait until Give to the Max Day! Early giving starts on November 1st. By donating early, you can help us reach our fundraising goal and ensure the future of our community's history.

Matching Gift Challenge:

To maximize the impact of your donation, we are excited to announce a matching gift challenge. Our generous Board of Directors will match the first $1,500 donated on November 21, so your contribution stretches further to help us reach our goal. 

Monthly Giving Option:

If a one-time donation is too much right now, consider monthly giving. By making regular contributions, you can support our mission while spreading out the cost. Select Monthly Giving at checkout.
