What is Giving Hearts Day?

Giving Hearts Day is an annual event on the second Thursday of February and is centered around the concept of showing affection for the charities you love. This event originated as a 24-hour online giving window in Fargo, North Dakota, but now has charities from all over North Dakota and northwest Minnesota participating. Organizations are responsible for finding matching funds with the goal that every donation given will be matched. In the decade-plus since its founding in 2008, this event has grown into one of the country’s longest-running and most successful giving days. To learn more, visit givingheartsday.org/history/. This is a great day to bless this ministry, double the impact of your gift, and join in on the online giving fun.
