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 serious medical condition. 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 which will be spread out to boost help for many families. Since 2008, Lend A Hand Up and caring community members have demonstrated that linking hands and hearts is an effective way to help our neighbors battling cancer, fighting for life in the NICU and suffering from other life-threatening injuries or illnesses. Together, over the span of 13 years, we have raised more than $18 million to uplift 550 local families through a medical crisis. Direct Questions to the Lend A Hand Up program office: (701) 356.2661.
