55 years later, millions of Minnesotans continue to use Earth Day to advocate for our state's beautiful lakes, vibrant forests, vast prairies, and extensive parks—all of which provide essential wildlife habitats and cherished outdoor spaces.
But our environment faces urgent threats from climate change, habitat loss, polluted water, and environmental injustices. Less than 5% of U.S. philanthropic dollars fund climate and nature causes, and, across the nation, environmental funding is being cut.
In honor of Earth Day 2025, ten environmental nonprofits in Minnesota are joining forces to amplify their impact through the One Day, One Earth, One Minnesota fund. And they’re hoping you’ll join them.
From April 8 to Earth Day on April 22, Environmental Initiative, Friends of the Mississippi River, Frogtown Green, Great River Greening, Huellas Latinas, Metro Blooms, Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light, Owámniyomni Okhódayapi, and Urban Roots, are coming together in a collaborative effort to raise critical funding to protect our air, water, land, and people.
When you give to the One Day, One Earth, One Minnesota fund, you’ll make a lasting impact on the health of our air, land, and water—and the people who call Minnesota home. Your support strengthens local nonprofits and fuels economic growth, building a coalition of environmental action to support environmental work happening right here in our state.
How you can join this movement—starting today.
What will your generosity support?
Your gift will help protect Minnesota’s air, water, land, and people by contributing to a shared fund for ten organizations working toward a stronger, greener future for us all.
The organizations taking part in this fund are protecting Minnesota’s waterways, restoring our habitats, addressing local climate challenges, advancing environmental justice and education, advocating for environmental policies, and more. When you give to the One Day, One Earth, One Minnesota fund, you will help strengthen these nonprofits, ultimately building a coalition of collective environmental action that supports the present and future of environmental work happening right here in our state.
