What Is Giving Hearts Day?

Giving Hearts Day is the most generous day of the year.

It was launched as the first one-day 'virtual' fundraising event in 2008 by Impact Foundation and is co-hosted by Dakota Medical Foundation and Alex Stern Family Foundation. Participating charities have received Impact Institute training as preparation for year-round fundraising success, and take part in Giving Hearts Day.  It has become a gateway for people to connect to causes doing good work in areas they passionately care about.

In 2023, 562 charities and causes in North Dakota and western Minnesota benefited from $26.1 million raised on Giving Hearts Day. All donations are made on Giving Hearts Day's website. Our President, Dan Carey, is the Chairman of Impact Foundation and also a Trustee of the Alex Stern Family Foundation.

What Is VISIONBank's GHD Video Contest?

Starting in 2012, VISIONBank has been a proud sponsor of Giving Hearts Day and the host of the Giving Hearts Day Video Contest. Participating charities are given the option to make a video highlighting their organization, share what GHD means to them, and get their mission heard. These videos are then posted on our Giving Hearts Day page to be voted on by anyone and everyone. On Giving Hearts Day, the organizations with the most votes on their video are each given a donation by VISIONBank.
