Care Forward Giving Campaign 2026
We’re skipping the gala this year and taking our fundraising goal online with the Care Forward giving campaign, running Nov 23 – Dec 1. No tickets or dress code required – just give or bid from your couch! Every gift and every online auction bid are matched dollar for dollar up to our $50,000 goal.
That money you donate turns into:
– Rides to doctor’s appointments and the grocery store
– Chore help that keeps homes safe and livable
– Home repairs that prevent falls and costly moves
– Support for caregivers who are running on empty
For many older adults in our community, that help is the difference between staying in the home they love and having to leave it.
As an added bonus, this year’s online auction runs just in time for the holidays – covering both Black Friday AND Small Business Saturday. Let DARTS be your holiday shopping while your bids make the season more magical than ever for older adults and caregivers!
Don’t wait for the 23rd. Early giving is open now, and every November gift counts toward the match! Huge thanks to our matching donors for making this possible: Minnesota Masonic Charities, 3M, South Robert Business Association, Blaze Credit Union, Allrounder Remodeling, Senior Helpers, and The Jean Braun Group.
Double your gift today. Give the gift of independence this season.
