Give to the Max Day: November 18th, 2021
SNO is able to continue putting on community-centric programs and events through donations from our community. Please join us for early giving or on November 18th to support SNO Community Members and Give to the Max!
What is Give to the Max Day?
Give to the Max Day was created in 2009 to launch GiveMN, a collaborative venture led by Minnesota Community Foundation and many other organizations committed to helping make our state a better place.
Give to the Max Day has become Minnesota’s annual giving holiday, raising nearly $225 million in its first 12 years. Every year, thousands of organizations and individuals generate donations and excitement for Minnesota causes that are working to improve the quality of life for all Minnesotans.
“Give to the Max is a celebration of the generosity of Minnesotans and the organizations which make our state stronger,” said Jake Blumberg, executive director of GiveMN. “Every dollar donated powers vital work being done in communities in every corner of Minnesota.”
Early Giving
Early Giving starts on November 1st and runs until Give to the Max Day (November 18th). Donations made during the early giving period are eligible for the daily $500 Early Giving Golden Ticket and the $10,000 Super-Sized Golden Ticket.
That means your donation could be randomly selected to turn into a donation of $500 or even $10,000 — talk about making an impact with your giving decisions!
NE T-shirt Fundraiser
We are fundraising to support our residents and neighbors struggling during the pandemic through Northeast T-shirt sales! These raised funds will only go towards costs that SNO is not able to use city funding for, such as rent, bills, food, and legal support.
These shirts were made by local printer DomCasual, see his work on instagram at @domcasual. All shirts are unisex sizing (M-XXL; we are out of size small) and will come with a free Northeast Calendar and SNO sticker! A great gift for the holidays.
**IMPORTANT: Please machine wash COLD and air-dry these shirts. Do NOT wash with heat or dry in a dryer. The red NE may fade or scratch if you do not follow these instructions. Thank you for your understanding in our work to support local entrepreneurs and artists!**
We are asking $20 per shirt, but you are welcome to make additional donations which will also go to the same fund.
Currently, we have two purchase options:
1) Send a check to the SNO office: 1304 University Ave NE #301, Minneapolis, MN 55413
2) Purchase through Paypal at https://paypal.me/SheridanNeighborhood (If you are able to click “send to friends and family” or uncheck “paying for goods or a service,” we will receive the full payment without a $1 fee/shirt)
In either case, include a note with the quantity of each size you would like (M-XXL; we are out of size small), your address for drop off (if you live in NE), and your contact info (in case we run out of your requested size and for pickup arrangement if you live outside of NE)
Example: I would like 1 M and 1 XL shirt, deliver to 1304 University Ave NE, email is sno@sheridanneighborhood.org.
If you do not include this note, we will not be able to deliver it to you! We will be sure to deliver your purchase or get in contact with you within one week of receiving it. Thank you for supporting your neighbors!
The history of the NE Flag
The idea for a NE Mpls flag was developed by local Northeast Bank president Walter Rassmussen in 1973. Walter's vision for a park-like parking lot next to his bank needed a community flag to celebrate neighborhood pride. The winner of a flag design contest was crafted by a ten-year-old Northeaster named Tony Di Giovanni. Read more here.

The 2020 SNO Ball was a Success!
Dear Sheridan Neighbors,
Sheridan Neighborhood Organization’s 2020 SNO Ball fundraising event was brimming with neighborhood spirit. Thanks to the amazing support of local businesses and neighbors, we’re thrilled to have raised $4,678.64 for both Sheridan Neighborhood Organization (SNO) programming and the Northeast Arts District (NEAD)!
Gross Income: $8,354.83 (from ticket sales, silent auction, photo booth, and liquor sales)
Total Expenses: $3,676.19 (from space rental, DJ, advertising, printing, and ticket fees)
Net Income: $4,678.64 !
As a Board of Directors, we have decided to give $2,500 to the Northeast Arts District of the raised funds, leaving SNO with $2,178.64 to use for future programming and events. This was one of the most successful SNO Balls we have ever had, so we thank you, our neighbors and friends, from the bottom of our hearts for making this possible.
We would especially like to thank all the businesses and individuals who donated space, food, decorations, liquor, auction items, and their valuable time and energy to put this together. Your continuing support of the Sheridan Neighborhood Organization enables many vital neighborhood improvements. Sheridan’s continuing progress is due to generous and thoughtful contributions like yours.
With sincerest gratitude,
