![2o25 Generosity Resolutions for donors! (1)](https://pages.givemn.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2o25%20Generosity%20Resolutions%20for%20donors!%20(1).png?width=340&height=340&name=2o25%20Generosity%20Resolutions%20for%20donors!%20(1).png)Many people start January by setting goals and considering what they want from the upcoming year. When it comes to giving, whether you’re a long-time donor or it's your first time giving, you might be considering how to bring generosity with you into 2025. 

Your generosity, in the form of donations, volunteer hours, or even a letter of encouragement, is invaluable to nonprofits in Minnesota. By supporting a nonprofit you care about through individual donations, you are empowering that organization to be[ more innovative](https://neonone.com/resources/blog/small-donations/) and to sustain its work for years without the pressures that often come with securing philanthropic support. 

So, what are your generosity goals and resolutions for the new year?  Here are a few suggestions from our team:

1. **Reconnect with what motivates your giving. **Think about why you enjoy giving and what kind of causes inspire you to give. Or, take a look at your donation history (learn how to see your history [here](https://support.mightycause.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015379891-Accessing-Receipts-and-Annual-Giving-Statements#:~:text=Select%20%22Donation%20history%22%20to%20be,tab%20within%20your%20user%20account.))  to remember what causes connected with you in the past. Then, use those insights to[ give again in 2025! ](http://givemn.org/) 
2. **Make new connections! **Use GiveMN.org to find a new-to-you organization that you want to support. Feeling ambitious? Well, it's 2025, so why not try finding **5 new-to-you organizations?** Check out [GiveMN.org](http://givemn.org/) for search filters that allow you to find organizations that work towards causes you care about. 
3. **Spread the word about generosity. **Giving doesn’t have to be a solo activity! Make it your mission to get 5 friends, coworkers, or family members to join in your generosity by asking them to a cause they care about in 2025. (You could make it even easier by gifting them a [Giving Card](https://www.givemn.org/about/giving-cards)).

Whether it’s through volunteering, setting up a recurring gift, or spreading the word about an impactful mission, nonprofits appreciate your support, and the GiveMN team appreciates you! Happy New Year and happy giving!
