Give to the Max Day 2026

Minnesota’s girls and gender-expansive youth are ready to lead! They are dreaming big, reaching for their goals, and building the confidence and courage they need to navigate the challenges facing them today and into the future. But they need to know there is a community standing with them!

ABF received 295 grant applications this fall-32% more than we did a year ago! Your Give to the Max Day gift will support the brave, unapologetic journeys of girls and gender-expansive youth in Minnesota as they reach for their dreams. You are helping them to build confidence and believe in their own potential. And with your support, they are creating and fostering stronger, more vibrant communities across the state and beyond.

This year, we have a generous $17,500 match. Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar to say yes to more girl-identifying youth and make more dreams possible.
