Giving Hearts Day

February 12, 2026

As part of a continual improvement program at Fargo, North Dakota-based Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF), Giving Hearts Day arose in 2008 as a simple but unique fundraising concept: Around Valentine’s Day, ask people to show affection to not only people they love but charities, too.

Support NDSU nursing and help provide future nurses with the education, training, and resources they need to succeed.
