Giving Hearts Day 2026

Support Scouting on Giving Hearts Day!

Giving Hearts Day brings people together to support local causes that matter. Every year, families and neighbors across North Dakota, western Minnesota, and nearby communities choose organizations that strengthen their hometowns. The Northern Lights Council, Scouting America, proudly takes part in this day of generosity. We appreciate supporters like you who believe in guiding young people toward brighter futures.

How does your gift help local youth?

When you give to Scouting on Giving Hearts Day, you create real opportunities for youth. They learn practical skills, explore the outdoors, build confidence, and grow as leaders. Your gift also helps us reach families in cities, small towns, and rural areas. As a result, young people from every background can join Scouting. This year, your generosity goes even further.

Your gift doubles today!

Several generous donors joined together to match every Giving Hearts Day contribution. Because of this match, the value of your donation increases immediately.

A $25 gift becomes $50
A $50 gift becomes $100
A $100 gift becomes $200
And larger gifts grow even more

Thanks to this match, your support reaches twice as many youth and strengthens twice as many programs. It also creates twice as many moments that help young people grow. Scouting offers simple but powerful experiences; pitching a tent, helping a neighbor, leading a team, overcoming a challenge, or trying something new. These moments shape character and last for life. Your Giving Hearts Day gift creates those moments.

Your support makes a lasting difference.

Thank you for considering a donation. Every gift matters, and every gift creates a direct and meaningful impact in our communities. Your gift doubles. Your impact lasts. Thank you for supporting local Scouting on Giving Hearts Day.

This giving event is co-hosted by Dakota Medical Foundation, Impact Foundation, and Alex Stern Foundation.

Your gift is matched for double the impact on local youth! We kindly ask you to make your donation through the Giving Hearts Day website. While donations made via our usual online form are always deeply appreciated, they won’t count toward this campaign and won’t be eligible for matching funds or prizes. Thank you for supporting us in this special way!
