In 2022, MCN sponsored 122 public events with over 6,100 total attendees. The majority of MCN's offerings were virtual for the year; however, we began reintroducing some in-person offerings, including our Annual Conference at St. Paul's RiverCentre which welcomed nearly 1,000 attendees. Our Finance and Sustainability Conference remained virtual. Other paid and free events focused on a wide range of topics including financial and change management, equity and justice, human resources, trauma-informed supervision, governance, accountability, fundraising, communications, leadership, and more. In 2021, MCN introduced Pay What You Can (PWYC) registration for its Annual Conference to create broader access to this popular event. In 2022 we introduced PWYC for additional offerings, including Minnesota Grantmakers, Session Lineup, and the Finance and Sustainability Conference. In 2022, MCN continued its role as a researcher and publisher, releasing the annual Minnesota Nonprofit Economy Report, the BIPOC Nonprofit Index, Minnesota Grants Directory, and Nonprofit News, a newsletter providing information on sector trends and resources. Through its educational programming, MCN worked with hundreds of people from other nonprofits, capacity building groups, and government agencies to offer myriad expertise, current information, and interactive learning for Minnesota's nonprofit sector. 778284 339000 578408 Public Policy and Civic Engagement: MCN builds the capacity of nonprofit leaders to be confident and competent voices on issues impacting their constituents and communities by providing them with workshops, briefings, and other informational resources. In 2022, MCN offered public policy training and information series attended by several hundred participants that included presentations on nonprofit advocacy, lobbying laws, state and federal budget processes, engaging communities around the 2022 midterm elections, nonprofits and election engagement, and public policy issues related to COVID-19 recovery funding relief. Additionally, MCN re-granted charitable funds to 31 nonprofits to conduct voter engagement activities in their communities for the 2022 midterm election. MCN's Minnesota Budget Project educates nonprofits, decision-makers, the media, and the public on budget, tax, and economic policy issues through a range of activities. 333408 40000 1074912 Membership: In 2022, 2,312 charitable organizations and 221 businesses contributed dues to support MCN's work. Nonprofit members receive discounts on publications, in-person and virtual workshops, and full-day conferences. Additionally, members can post job openings on MCN's highly trafficked job board at no cost. In 2022, MCN members posted 19,579 free staff, board, volunteer, and intern openings on MCN's job board. Through the use of free member publication vouchers, MCN nonprofit members requested and received 974 free copies of regularly updated publications, like the Minnesota Grants Directory, Minnesota Nonprofit Salary & Benefits Survey, Minnesota Nonprofit Legal Handbook, Handbook for Starting a Successful Nonprofit, and Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Excellence. MCN also capitalizes on the group purchasing power of its members to negotiate lower prices and better service on many products and services that nonprofits need, including banking, insurance, health plans, employee benefits, office supplies, payroll processing and more. 475573 Research: With the support of charitable contributions from foundations and corporations, MCN studies nonprofit sector trends and shares this research with members, other nonprofits, decision-makers, and the media. In 2022, MCN shared information widely on Minnesota's nonprofit sector, demonstrating the economic impact of nonprofits on the state's economy. In response to COVID-19, MCN produced two updated Nonprofit Economy Reports in 2022. MCN also conducts nonpartisan research and analysis on tax, budget, and economic issues through the Minnesota Budget Project. The Minnesota Budget Project's analysis particularly focuses on policy choices and economic trends that impact low- and moderate-income Minnesotans and communities of color, budget and policy choices that impact access to prosperity and economic opportunity in Minnesota, the contributions of Minnesota's immigrants to the economy and local communities, and progress toward a fair and sustainable tax system. 275468 Advocacy: MCN undertakes advocacy efforts to strengthen the nonprofit sector and its ability to serve communities throughout Minnesota. MCN's major advocacy efforts in 2022 included: nonprofit relief funding due to impacts of COVID-19, racial equity in state bonding, paid family and medical leave program creation, volunteer mileage reimbursement, opposing harmful proposed legislation on oversight of nonprofit grantees of the stateand various nonprofit sales tax issues. MCN's Minnesota Budget Project identifies and advances public policies that expand economic opportunity and prosperity, especially in the areas of state tax, budget, and economic policy. The Minnesota Budget Project's 2022 advocacy priorities called for bold action to respond to the ongoing health and economic impacts of the pandemic, address long-standing disparities and areas of disinvestment, and build a stronger, more equitable recovery in which all Minnesotans are healthy, safe, and economically secure. This included advocating for robust and fair revenue system, including improvements to tax credits that support low-income Minnesotans, investments in affordable health care and child care, and improving wage and job-quality standards. 159931 2500 AmeriCorps VISTA: In 2022, MCN was awarded a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service to sponsor 25 full-time VISTA members and 19 Summer Associate VISTAs at 21 different nonprofit organizations.

MCN places AmeriCorps VISTA members in Minnesota nonprofits to provide the resources, capacity, and connections for community-based organizations to ensure operational sustainability and grow their community impact. 910972 2500 3091383 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 82 0 1 36 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN ND X X X Yohannes Ghebru 6517573081 2314 University Ave W 20 St Paul MN 55114 Cameron Kruger Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Molly Matheson Gruen Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Antonio Cardona Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Theresa Gardella Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Beth Schoeppler Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Eunice Adjei Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Milpha Blamo Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Charwood Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Gaasch Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gene Gelgelu Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Koeder Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leondra Mitchell Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pablo Obregon Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joanna Ramirez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Schmidt Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Schwartz Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Voerding Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Warner Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 SuFei Wong McKhann Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Yankee Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nonoko Sato Executive Director 40.00 X 161663 0 12160 Kari Aanestad Associate Director 40.00 X 103204 0 9710 Nan Madden MN Budget Project Director 40.00 X 106934 0 5318 371801 0 27188 3 0 1 0 0 847546 1539526 2387072 Membership dues 900099 1074912 1074912 Sponsorships/marketing 541800 433727 422813 10914 Workshops and educatio 900099 316369 316369 Annual conference 900099 147332 147332 Publications 900099 99711 99711 58384 58384 2130435 17883 17883 4535390 2119521 10914 17883 339000 339000 40000 40000 398989 280090 89573 29326 1377553 967042 309261 101250 90121 63265 20232 6624 19575 13742 4394 1439 365928 256456 82621 26851 14150 11026 2444 680 299963 233742 51801 14420 10981 10981 80010 74470 3781 1759 172409 126145 35176 11088 247939 171119 58904 17916 17705 17077 473 155 310395 308470 1665 260 115581 81138 25948 8495 10306 7257 2297 752 Bank and credit card fe 35555 24749 8215 2591 VISTA expenses 24343 24343 Dues and subscriptions 21805 16919 3681 1205 Miscellaneous expenses 14985 14705 280 17770 9647 7772 351 4025063 3091383 708518 225162 1216383 1046858 359289 359708 577160 1336481 75173 87756 5672 8858 93176 83527 1442206 1178028 371288 264178 1052041 950172 0 507060 3750182 4644598 223277 115423 161853 261067 0 511367 385130 887857 X 1941652 2820491 1423400 936250 3365052 3756741 3750182 4644598 510327 -118638 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1789988 1457609 2010469 2103583 2387072 9748721 1789988 1457609 2010469 2103583 2387072 9748721 2412660 7336061 1399 21916 8230 9302 17883 58730 9399 -8686 -2384 216 2 -1453 9805998 10059043 0.74810 0.72650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 41590 11067 52657 3038718 3091375 304569 76142 0 0 303185 278925 275393 304569 1162072 1743108 42547 34700 55630 52657 185534 75796 69731 68848 76142 290517 435776 1430 8958 46184 41590 98162 517594 330685 186909 924612 847343 77269 264178 Operating ROU Asset -
