This Give to the Max Day every dollar you give to Our Rescue will be doubled, helping to rescue and empower more survivors, and bring both awareness and change to stop the crisis of sex trafficking and child exploitation of our most vulnerable populations around the world.
Give to the Max Day returns for its 17th year on Thursday, November 20, 2025. Started in 2009 as one of the nation’s first online giving days, Give to the Max now serves as a national model for giving days across the country. In the years since, nearly one million donors have given more than $355 million to 14,000 nonprofits and schools as part of Minnesota’s giving holiday.
On this day, consider Our Rescue as a recipient of your generosity, as a global nonprofit organization dedicated to ending sex trafficking and child exploitation while empowering survivors to rebuild their lives. With a global and domestic reach, we focus on:
- Survivor care with trauma-informed support alongside trusted partners.
- Prevention and education to create free resources for parents, caregivers, and communities, including Our Shield, a newly launched stage-based online safety guide.
- Dismantling trafficking networks with law enforcement and key partnerships through ICAC Connect, using innovative technological tools, digital forensics, and Electronic Storage Detection (ESD) K9s.
Highlights of Hope from 2025
Recent overseas operations and missions here in the United States show just how far your donations can reach and the powerful impact they make, including bringing hope to those who need it most:
- In August 2025, the Interstate Justice Coalition (IJC) carried out a first ever multi-state surge operation across Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Arkansas, led by Our Rescue, Skull Games Solutions, and We Fight Monsters.
- The US effort identified 32 victims of human trafficking, 26 survivors, and 12 suspected traffickers, including 10 sex trafficking arrests.
- Operation Global Impact 2025 rescued 338 survivors, including 74 children, and resulted in 243 arrests. This included impact in several countries:
- In Thailand, investigators uncovered online abuse leading to the rescue of 14 children.
- In Chile, a 9-year-old girl is safe tonight after her trafficker was arrested with Our Rescue’s support. A cross-border case between Chile and Ecuador also captured an international fugitive exploiting 13-year-old minors.
- In Peru, Our Rescue helped rescue 55 women and bring six traffickers to justice after dismantling a major trafficking network.
When you give to Our Rescue, the missions that stop these crimes are now measurable, with dollars sparking immediate impact. Every rescue and every perpetrator caught is proof that your giving matters.
Double Your Gift, Transform Lives
This Give to the Max Day, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar, meaning your generosity goes twice as far to rescue and empower survivors and prevent exploitation here in the US and around the world. In 2024, Give to the Max raised $37.1 million for 6,556 organizations. We hope the momentum continues. As we’ve witnessed, from Tennessee to Thailand, this is a chance to make a difference and transform lives around the world by choosing to give today.
