We are working hard to get the system back to a pace which can keep up with the tremendous outpouring of donations. We currently are seeing improvement within the system.
We appreciate the patience of donors who are doing so much to benefit nonprofits and schools today and encourage them to try to make a donation again if they had difficulties.
By 10 a.m. Give to the Max Day has received $3.9 million in donations.
