 Have you heard of Give to the Max Day?
It's known as Minnesota's Annual "Give Together" - where Minnesotans donate online to their favorite causes. Last year, in 24 hours, more than $13 million was raised for non-profits across the state.
You can help VNPA leverage more dollars on Give to the Max Day (Nov. 15) to support Minnesota's national park. Your donation will be doubled - a generous donor has offered a $2,500 match. Also, every donation VNPA receives helps increase our chances to win prize grants from GiveMN.org.
You don't have to wait til November 15! New this year - you can schedule your Give to the Max Day donation in support of Voyageurs National Park Association. Or click here to download a reminder to your calendar. Thank you for helping us meet our match goal!

VNPA Works with U.S. and Canadian
Partners on Proposed Namakan River Dam
Voyageurs National Park Association has convened Canadian and U.S. partners to study and respond to a proposal to build a hydroelectric dam on the Namakan River. The dam is to be located in an environmentally sensitive site between the Boundary Waters, Voyageurs National Park and Canada's Quetico Provincial Park - an area known for its healthy population of Lake Sturgeon. Sponsors include Gemini Power and the Lac La Croix First Nation and the project is being proposed to help fulfill Ontario's green energy goals. We will keep you updated on the project.
