We'll be leaning into 15 years of generosity and impact this year with our messaging to donors, and have also created a simple alternate logo to celebrate this milestone. Feel free to use it as part of your communications if you'll be celebrating 15 years of generosity as well! [See logos.](http://www.givemn.org/gtmd/logos)
