Giving Matters at MOA™
Sharing more than dollars with groups that inspire us
You sometimes hear that Mall of America® is a city in itself. We tend to think it’s more like a small town, where people know and look out for each other. Maybe it’s that sense of community within MOA™ that makes us feel so strongly about giving to the larger communities that surround us.

We believe in partnering with organizations that bring not just passion, but a strong track record of improving people’s lives. Here are just a few of their stories.

For its 15th anniversary celebration, CaringBridge wanted a real-world gathering place—and there was no place better than Mall of America®. The Mall rotunda set the stage for the star of the party, a 30 X 40-foot greeting card, signed by a world-record-breaking 2,216 people.

The Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valley wanted to throw a big party for the Girl Scout Centennial. But when they partnered with Mall of America for the event, they had no idea just how big it would be:
expected attendance: 50,000 people
actual attentance: 150,000 people -
Since its inception in 2008, the Walk to End Hunger has raised nearly $1,200,000 to help put food on the table for people in need. Held at Mall of America® on Thanksgiving morning, the Walk has become one of the Mall’s signature events.

Minnesota Internship Center was awarded all the money from the Mall’s ponds from the month of October. The total was more than $1,200; enough to fund Paws for Learning in the school for a full year. Paws for Learning uses trained therapy dogs to help troubled students develop coping skills that can help them succeed in school.
