“Give to the Max” Day nets Center for Spirituality & Healing $6,500!

CSH GiveMN.org button

The Center’s Give to the Max experience was fruitful and inspiring.
We were one of more than 3,000 nonprofit organizations that raised $14 million in charitable gifts in just 24 hours! We are so grateful to donors who helped us raise more than $6,500. Gifts ranging from $10 to $2,500 were received from students, faculty, staff and community patrons. Thanks to all for being generous and responding promptly to our call for action! These new resources will be used to advance the Center’s work in integrative health and healing. We’ll also incorporate lessons from this pivotal experience - namely the power of e-giving - into future opportunities for your support.
Thank you!
