We are participating in Give to the Max Day to raise money that supports our teams. Give to the Max Day is a great day in
Minnesota! It's a day when thousands of Minnesotans make charitable donations to make our state a better place. Donors go to GiveMN.org to find organizations to give to, and we want to make sure donors know they can give to the Eagan Debate and Speech teams through Eagan High School Forensics Boosters. In addition to charitable gifts made to the Forensics Boosters, we will be eligible for Golden Ticket Drawings. At the end of each hour on November 14, GiveMN will randomly draw a donation from that hour and add $1,000 to the total! Wouldn't it be great if we got a Golden Ticket?
Where do gifts go?
Gifts go to the Eagan High School Forensics Boosters, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports the Eagan Debate and Eagan Speech teams. Eagan Forensics is an all-volunteer organization made up of current and former Debate and Speech team parents who believe in the power of these teams to transform lives and give students a voice.
How does that help our teams?
Your gift will provide opportunities for our teams to use their voice. The Forensics Boosters raises money to help pay for:
What a great opportunity! How do I help?
There are some great ways to help! Choose what's right for you:
Will 100% of my gift go to support the teams?
Yes, if you add a little extra to cover the processing fee. GiveMN, the nonprofit that sponsors Give to the Max Day, adds a 6.9% fee on top of your gift. 4.9% of that covers the credit card processing fee and technology to run the day, and 2% supports GiveMN's mission and programs, which not only includes holding Give to the Max Day but also capacity-building opportunities for small nonprofit organizations in our community. To get more information about the fee structure, click here. But you can make sure 100% of your gift goes to Eagan Forensics when you are prompted to add on the 6.9% fee to your gift before checkout.
Is my donation tax-deductible? Yes, to the extent allowed by law. While Eagan Forensics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your gift first goes to GiveMN, and your tax receipt will be from that organization. No goods or services are given in exchange for your donation. November 14 is a busy day. Can I give before that?
Yes! You can give starting November 1, and you can also give on the GiveMN platform after November 14. Additionally, within the next few months, Eagan High School Forensics Boosters will have online giving, too, and more of every gift given through that platform will support the teams. But don't wait until then to make your gift.
I'd rather mail a check. Can I do that? Sure! You'll find the address below. BUT--consider giving on Give to the Max Day, because every hour, GiveMN will select a donation from that hour, and that organization will receive an extra $1,000. The Golden Ticket Drawing is sponsored by the Bush Foundation.
