Today is Give to the Max Day in my lovely, generous home state of Minnesota. In that spirit, I encourage everyone to give something to some charity that supports something they feel strongly about.
I know. Times are tough and there’s not a whole lot of money to be throwing around. I’m a temp with a new master’s degree, living in Washington, D.C. I feel that tells you everything you may need to know about my financials.
And I know, too, that sometimes not giving is the result of a sort of charity paralysis, as you try to figure out if your $25 should go to medical research or education programs or the arts or youth sports or….
But I’ll be giving money today to places in and out of MN that mean a lot to me. Because what’s important is not how much you give or even to whom. It’s that you give.
Support humanity. Donate what you can today.
