The resolution designates February 13, 2025, as "Giving Hearts Day," a significant event that began in 2008, initiated by the Dakota Medical Foundation and Impact Foundation, with the Alex Stern Family Foundation joining in 2014. This day serves as a platform for North Dakota residents and others to contribute to numerous charitable organizations aimed at enhancing health and quality of life in the region. Since its inception, Giving Hearts Day has successfully raised over $195 million for local charities, with last year's event alone generating $29.3 million for 612 charities through the generosity of 40,000 donors.

Looking ahead to 2025, the event will feature nearly 625 charitable causes and aims to distribute over $250 million in awards and incentives throughout North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. The initiative aspires to cultivate a culture of generosity, with a goal of making the region the most charitable in the nation by 2028, thereby positioning North Dakota as a leader in volunteerism and donations. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to the supporting foundations to acknowledge their contributions to this philanthropic effort.
