The campaign was modeled after the grand daddy of match days that happens throughout the entire state of Minnesota. Good luck and Go Minnesota! Our goal in this 3 rd year is to raise millions of dollars for thousands of Minnesota nonprofits in one day. So what gives in Minnesota? Though it never comes easy (and we too get our share of rejections), we’ve managed to convince a number of key funders of the value that this online giving event brings to Minnesota.
