http://www.knuj.net/2013/11/mn-give-to-the-max-day-totals/The state’s fifth annual Give to the Max Day had an overwhelming start, with more than $9-million dollars in donations made before lunchtime — but the high volume of traffic on the website dedicated to online giving for Minnesota nonprofit organizations and schools crashed the system Thursday afternoon. It was down for more than five hours. Give-MN organizers say the site was back up by about 6pm, and donors kept giving – topping last year’s $16-million in donations. The final tally showed over 52,000 people donating more than $17-million to around 4,400 non-profits and schools.
The Board of the Minnesota Orchestra ran it into insolvency in an attempt to break the Union. Also there is no place that Foundations can go and earn the kind of return they need. Thanks GOP you leave destruction every where you go.

The musicians, who have been locked out since October 2012, are hoping to raise $25,000 in 24 hours to bump them just over the long term goal of $150,000 to support their Fall Concert Series (which includes a performance at Ted Mann this Thursday and Friday).
