Give to the Max for a Brighter Future Across Minnesota

In Minnesota, stewardship is a value and way of life. From our iconic North Shore to our beloved prairies and lakes, these natural treasures inspire us to care deeply for the places that define our state.

On Give to the Max Day—November 21st, Minnesotans have a unique opportunity to come together to support the causes that make our communities thrive. By donating to Upstream through GiveMN, you can help advance a mission rooted in environmental stewardship and unity, ensuring Minnesota remains a vibrant, sustainable place for generations to come.

Why Stewardship Matters for Minnesota’s Future

Upstream is on a mission to support Minnesotans’ value of care for our natural places. Through the Upstream Pledge, hundreds of Minnesotans are committing to personal stewardship. Together, we’re ensuring that the beauty of our forests, lakes, and wildlife remains untouched for future generations.

While stewardship is about caring for natural places—it’s also important to celebrate the ways our natural spaces are bringing people together. When we unite to care for Minnesota’s natural places, we build stronger communities grounded in shared values of caring for where we live. Upstream’s efforts connect individuals, families, and neighborhoods to the land and to each other, creating a sense of pride and belonging.
