Lend A Hand Up is a charitable program guided by Dakota Medical Foundation (DMF) that partners with caring people to raise help and hope for families suffering from a medical condition or other traumatic event. Lend A Hand Up provides a unique giving platform allowing donors to direct a gift to a specific individual/family benefit fund, or to make a tax-deductible gift to the program to help many families. Online gifts made through LendAHandUp.org are eligible for a 20% boost (add-on) to increase the impact of people’s generosity to  help their friends and neighbors.

Since 2008, Lend A Hand Up and caring community members have raised $22M to help more than 700 families living in Cass, Clay and Becker Counties.
