North Dakota Benefits From Giving Hearts Day

February is a special month. It's the month for Groundhog Day, Lincoln's birthday, Valentine's Day, Washington's birthday, and Presidents Day. That is a lot to squeeze into a short month!

One day to keep in mind is February 9th. That's Giving Hearts Day.  Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour giving campaign for close to 550 charities in northwest Minnesota and North Dakota. Giving Hearts Day is meant to encourage people to support a cause they care about, and push the enthusiasm around this yearly celebration to help charities raise their profile and strengthen relationships with donors.

This year, 17 local organizations will receive matching funds with your donation.
