After establishing our non-profit Colorado, it was the welcoming communities and the spirit of giving in Minnesota that embraced our mission, helping us provide remembrance portraits to more families.

With a record-setting launch in 2009, GiveMN’s Give to the Max Day has become an enduring symbol of Minnesota’s generous heart, and we’re delighted to participate each year!

GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity. GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

Join the movement and give!

Founded in Colorado in 2005, NILMDTS honors the memory of Maddux Achilles Haggard, with his mother Cheryl Haggard and photographer Sandy Puc’ at the heart of our story. It’s the unwavering community support in our home state that has enabled us to reach families nationwide.

Coloradoans have shown their incredible generosity since 2010 through Colorado Gives Day, collectively raising over $415 million to fortify the community organizations that help us all flourish!
