Giving Hearts. Giving Together.

There’s truly something wonderful about a giving heart – and giving back to the people and places we call home. Since 2014, we’ve been proud to partner with Giving Hearts Day, donating countless dollars and volunteers hours to benefit incredible charities across ND and MN.

Giving Hearts Day

This annual 24-hour fundraising initiative is organized by Dakota Medical Foundation, and benefits charities in North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Since the first event in 2008, generous donors have given nearly $195 million, 100% of which goes directly to charities.

We Go Big and Give Big.
