Give to the Max Day

October 6, 2022

Each year, Give to the Max Day — a statewide day of giving — raises much-needed support for student scholarships, research, and academic programs at CFANS and across the University of Minnesota. Mark your calendars for this year’s biggest day of giving for November 17, 2022.

As we look forward to Give to the Max Day, we wanted to also reflect on the amazing things alumni and friends have accomplished on this day in years past:

Provided 74 CFANS graduate and undergraduate students with nearly $50,000 in emergency funding during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Helped provide 10,000 Bell Museum Science & Nature Activity Kits — engaging 20,000 kids!
  • Eased the financial burden of summer fieldwork courses for 32 students.
  • Helped the Bee Research Lab launch a robust new video program that provides online education for schools, beekeepers, and anyone interested in habitat and bee health.
  • Allowed 14 students to get hands-on experience in their field through study abroad.
  • Hired a student intern at the WCROC to develop educational materials that highlights the many renewable energy systems at the WCROC that impact agriculture production.
  • Helped the Soil Judging team qualify for Nationals — 3 times!

Thank you for making this — and more — possible! We can’t wait to see what our CFANS community accomplishes this November.
