Background
Giving Hearts Day is a 24-hour fundrasing event for charities in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. Since the first event in 2008, generous donors have given nearly $165 million, 100% of which goes directly to participating charities. Giving Hearts Day 2026 will be held on Thursday, February 12th.
Heroes Compass is 100% volunteer-run, serving those who serve. Founded by a military family, we support veterans, first responders, police, and firefighters through care packages, mental health initiatives, and community programs. Every dollar goes directly toward helping heroes in need — from sending comfort overseas to funding scholarships and emergency relief. This Giving Hearts Day, join us in honoring their service and showing that no hero walks alone.
