Support Vine Arts Center on Give to the Max Day!
Mark your calendars! Give to the Max Day returns for a 17th year here in Minnesota on Thursday, November 20, 2025, with Early Giving beginning on November 1.
Vine Arts Center is participating this year with a goal of raising at least $2,000. We are excited to have a matching grant of $600 from anonymous donors — which means every donation up to that amount will be doubled, to reach a total of $1,200!
And you can start giving TODAY as part of the Early Giving campaign, or just make a donation on November 20, during which there will be special drawings every hour for “Golden Ticket” prizes of thousands of extra dollars (for organizations that have received donations from their supporters during that time.)
Here’s a link to our Give to the Max Day page:
We are asking our community of artists and supporters to make donations and to spread the word about Vine Art Center’s involvement in this year’s Give to the Max Day through your social media accounts, emails, and word of mouth.
Visit GiveMN.org during that time to follow along with totals, see prize winners, and have your generosity counted as part of this year's campaign.
