Foundation Wins Giving Hearts Day Bonus, Surges Beyond $190K in Donations
Giving Hearts Day 2025 is the gift that keeps giving for the RiverView Foundation. As was previously announced, the Feb. 13 online fundraiser for nonprofits was a huge success with 293 gifts given to the Foundation by generous donors for more than $179,000. Additional gifts brought the total to $182,000. Since that announcement, the Dakota Medical Foundation has crunched the numbers and revealed that the Foundation placed second in raising funds in the Small Budget ($0 - $250,000) division.
The recent news brings a prize of $8,000 to elevate the Foundation’s 2025 event total to more than $190,000.
“When I heard the news from Dakota Medical concerning the award and their gift to 2025 Giving Hearts Day, I was so thankful,’’ Foundation Director Randy Schoenborn shared. “I know that we could not do it without the generous support of our donors, who are the reason for our success.
“Thank you to Dakota Medical and all the generous people for their level of confidence, support, and trust to help keep quality medical care close to home.’’
According to the Dakota Medical Foundation, this year, 619 nonprofits throughout North Dakota and northwest Minnesota raised $31 million through 40,210 donors. Charities have now raised over $225 million since the event’s inception in 2008.
