Today is ‘Give to the Max Day,’ a one-day fundraising online event that unites local Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C..

As part of Give to the Max Day: nonprofits large and small can earn their share of $125,000 in cash awards, including up to $25,000 for nonprofits with the most individual donors and the most money donated.  The individuals who bring the most donors on behalf of their cause can add an extra $10,000 to their donation. 

To keep it interesting for all participants, Give to the Max Day will also offer “Golden Ticket” awards of $1,000 for the nonprofits receiving the most individual donations within each hour beginning at 2 p.m. and ending at midnight.
