VCSU Foundation Participates in Giving Hearts Day
Generous donors can once again donate to the VCSU Foundation on Giving Hearts Day.
For the 10th consecutive year, the VCSU Foundation is participating in the region-wide day of giving on February 12 to benefit non-profits.
Donations to the VCSU Foundation can be given online or scheduled ahead of time. They can also be dropped off at the Foundation Office prior to Feb. 12.
These dollars help VCSU students through scholarship support in addition to supporting alumni gatherings, award programs, Homecoming activities and the alumni magazine The Bulletin.
A donation of $10 or more will be matched up to the first $5,000, allowing your gift to do more. The $5,000 matching gift is provided by Ludvigson, Braun & Co. – Matt Pedersen.
As part of a continual improvement program at Fargo, North Dakota-based Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) started Giving Hearts Day in 2008 as a simple but unique fundraising concept: Around Valentine’s Day, ask people to show affection to not only people they love but charities, too.
In the decade-plus since, the event has gone on to become one of the longest-running and most successful giving days in the country, providing a platform for North Dakota and northwest Minnesota charities to raise $195 million.
