For over 35 years, the Minnesota Council
of Nonprofits has convened, informed,
[0:10]
strengthened, and advocated alongside
and behalf of nonprofit organizations.
[0:14]
We work to keep the world safe for nonprofits
[0:17]
so that nonprofits can help
build a safe and just world.
[0:20]
Infrastructure support organizations
like MCN play a crucial role in leading
[0:24]
systems level change to create the
conditions for nonprofit success.
[0:28]
Minnesota has a thriving and diverse nonprofit
community representing 14% of our state's economy.
[0:34]
MCN is one of the largest nonprofit
state associations in the United States,
[0:38]
supporting the strength of our sector through
education, research, public policy, and advocacy.
[0:44]
As a result of our work, we want nonprofits to be
equipped to effectively run their organizations,
[0:49]
led and staffed by communities with expertise
and direct mission-aligned experiences;
[0:54]
have access to systems of power and money;
[0:57]
and able to nimbly meet the
needs of their communities.
[1:00]
We are especially focusing on collaborative
reform efforts on state grantmaking,
[1:05]
intentionally prioritizing the
lived experiences, challenges,
[1:09]
and unique assets of nonprofits led by
or serving rural and BIPOC communities.
[1:13]
General operating support makes all
of this work possible. Funding from
[1:17]
Yield Giving would not only be an
investment in MCN, but also in over
[1:22]
34,000 Minnesota nonprofits and the
10,000 leaders we serve every year.
[1:25]
Thank you.
