Giving Hearts Day is a reminder of what makes our region strong. It’s a day when generosity meets purpose, and when individuals and businesses come together to support the organizations doing vital work behind the scenes every day. Across the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo region, nonprofit organizations play an important role in strengthening our workforce, caring for families, advancing health and wellness, and building pathways to opportunity.
Below, we are highlighting several nonprofit organizations participating in Giving Hearts Day and sharing a snapshot of the impact they make in our community, along with links to support their campaigns.
The Arc Cass County
The Arc of Cass County promotes and protects the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, supporting full inclusion and participation in the community. The organization provides advocacy, education and direct support for adults with disabilities across Cass County. Gifts made on Giving Hearts Day directly support the programs and services that help individuals live with dignity, independence and opportunity.

The Boys & Girls Club of the Red River Valley provides a safe, caring and engaging environment where youth can learn, grow and prepare for a successful future. Giving Hearts Day supports programming at The CLUB Teen Center for students in grades 6–12. These programs create meaningful out-of-school experiences that empower teens through choice, access and passion-driven opportunities.
FirstLink
FirstLink works every day to save lives from suicide and support individuals facing mental health challenges through calls, chats and texts to the 211 and 988 lines. FirstLink plays a vital role in North Dakota’s mental health and suicide prevention crisis response system. Donations allow FirstLink to continue operations 24/7/365 and never charge individuals for these services.

Serving nearly 9,500 members across North Dakota, South Dakota and parts of Minnesota and Iowa, the council reaches girls in cities, rural communities, Native American reservations and Air Force bases. Through hands-on experiences, mentorship and skill-building, girls learn to lead with courage and compassion. Investing in Girl Scouts builds a strong foundation for lifelong leadership and a stronger future for our communities.

The Justice Well Program provides equitable access to substance abuse treatment and psychiatric services, regardless of financial barriers. With a particular focus on individuals impacted by the justice system, the program addresses critical gaps in access to care. Justice Well works to ensure that recovery and mental health support are available when and where they are needed most. Giving Hearts Day contributions help sustain services that promote healing, stability and long-term outcomes.
