The program's expansion in 2024 to include organizations benefiting Native communities further emphasizes a commitment to equitable support across the region, reflecting a strategic priority to reach diverse populations. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are 501(c)(3) public charities and government entities located within Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, or the 23 Native nations sharing this geography. The program targets organizations that are currently hosting or intend to host a Giving Day, with an impact goal of enhancing their fundraising capabilities and overall community engagement. By supporting these events, the Blush Foundation aims to empower local nonprofits to generate significant financial resources and build stronger connections with their donor bases. The program prioritizes organizations that demonstrate a strong ability to organize, host, and promote a Giving Days program within their region. A key focus is on building nonprofit fundraising skills, with selected organizations expected to commit to this development through provided tools and/or support. Furthermore, the foundation seeks organizations with the skills, staffing, and community networks necessary to reach and equitably serve a broad range of communities, underscoring a commitment to inclusive and far-reaching impact. Expected outcomes include an increase in funds raised by participating nonprofits, a strengthened capacity for online fundraising, and a broader reach within communities, particularly Native communities. While specific measurable results are not detailed beyond the annual funding amounts ($200,000 annually to selected organizations, plus an additional $10,000 this year), the emphasis on fundraising skill-building suggests a theory of change that by investing in the operational and promotional abilities of nonprofits, the foundation can catalyze sustainable growth and greater community benefit.
