Thank you for your interest in Giving Hearts Day and our business-engagement opportunities.

Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour giving event for charities across North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Giving Hearts Day is sponsored

by Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF), Impact Institute, and the Alex Stern Family Foundation.

Formed in the 1960s by a group of pioneering physicians and community leaders, Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) laid the foundation for the building of Dakota Hospital, which was eventually sold in 1994. For more than two decades, DMF has used the investment returns from that sale to invest more than $100 million in health initiatives that increase the impact of more than 400 regional nonprofits.

Each year, Giving Hearts Day creates a platform for charities to fund their missions through an ever-increasing community of givers.

We invite your business to join us as a Giving Hearts Business. Your contributions as a Giving Hearts Business may vary from other organizations in our region, but one thing is consistent: You are dedicated to making our community a better place.

When companies show they are dedicated to improving their communities through purpose-driven actions, they are more likely to be considered “employers of choice,” which attract and retain valuable, hardworking, and engaged employees. Giving back brings out the best in people, and we’re confident it brings out the best in the business community as well.

Every Giving Heart makes a difference, and we want to include you when we say #countme.

Sincerely,

J. Patrick Traynor Executive Director Dakota Medical Foundation
