00:00:05,186 --> 00:00:10,800
For over 35 years, the Minnesota Council 
of Nonprofits has convened, informed,  

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,640
strengthened, and advocated alongside 
and behalf of nonprofit organizations.

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,460
We work to keep the world safe for nonprofits  

5
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:20,160
so that nonprofits can help 
build a safe and just world.

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,960
Infrastructure support organizations 
like MCN play a crucial role in leading  

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,380
systems level change to create the 
conditions for nonprofit success.

8
00:00:28,380 --> 00:00:34,920
Minnesota has a thriving and diverse nonprofit 
community representing 14% of our state's economy.

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,460
MCN is one of the largest nonprofit 
state associations in the United States,  

10
00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:44,280
supporting the strength of our sector through 
education, research, public policy, and advocacy.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,380
As a result of our work, we want nonprofits to be 
equipped to effectively run their organizations,  

12
00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:54,540
led and staffed by communities with expertise 
and direct mission-aligned experiences;

13
00:00:54,540 --> 00:00:57,480
have access to systems of power and money;  

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,060
and able to nimbly meet the 
needs of their communities.

15
00:01:00,780 --> 00:01:04,860
We are especially focusing on collaborative 
reform efforts on state grantmaking,  

16
00:01:05,460 --> 00:01:09,000
intentionally prioritizing the 
lived experiences, challenges,  

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,440
and unique assets of nonprofits led by 
or serving rural and BIPOC communities.

18
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,760
General operating support makes all 
of this work possible. Funding from  

19
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,540
Yield Giving would not only be an 
investment in MCN, but also in over  

20
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,740
34,000 Minnesota nonprofits and the 
10,000 leaders we serve every year.

21
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:26,700
Thank you.
