This included advocating for new revenues needed to make those priorities happen, as well as improvements to tax credits that support low-income Minnesotans, and investments in affordable health care and child care. 1023100 23625 50516 2507860 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 42 0 1 38 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 23 23 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 Jon Pratt Executive Director (Jan - July 2021) 40.00 X 98558 0 4088 Nonoko Sato Executive Director 40.00 X 142128 0 25346 Kari Aanestad Associate Director 40.00 X 90776 0 21390 Nan Madden MN Budget Project Dir. 40.00 X 104238 0 5135 Cameron Kruger Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Adams Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Antonio Cardona Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Beth Schoeppler Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Joanna Ramirez Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Eunice Adjei Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Milpha Blamo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ashley Carwood Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Gaasch Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa Gardella Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gene Gelgelu Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Aaliyah Hodge Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Koeder Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Matheson Gruen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leondra Mitchell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Pablo Obregon Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Enrique Olivarez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Schmidt Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Schwartz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Voerding Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Warner Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Su-Fei Wong Mckhann Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Yankee Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 435700 0 55959 2 0 1 0 0 588401 1515182 2103583 Membership dues 900099 1007490 1007490 Sponsorships/marketing 511140 408007 397573 10434 Workshops and educatio 900099 296788 296788 Annual conference 900099 85808 85808 Publications 900099 60165 60165 54091 54091 1912349 9302 9302 4025234 1901915 10434 9302 39000 39000 42075 42075 491659 184238 235961 71460 1322460 1040404 243502 38554 61963 48864 11377 1722 202092 135331 58776 7985 135156 102490 23956 8710 30643 20802 9841 12050 12050 178134 148705 21233 8196 3199 2590 609 25271 19823 4444 1004 109927 71482 32667 5778 234743 160496 60608 13639 6685 6683 2 150445 147910 2075 460 121950 83376 31489 7085 9730 6651 2514 565 VISTA expenses 205392 205392 Bank and credit card fe 28061 19158 7275 1628 Dues and subscriptions 25603 18032 5397 2174 Bad debt 15932 15932 6702 4358 2299 45 3458872 2507860 782007 169005 738593 1216383 9829 359289 669318 577160 78193 75173 8324 5672 79352 93176 1433735 1062447 462957 371288 968915 1052041 3015481 3750182 127355 223277 163560 161853 290915 385130 X 1557294 1941652 1167272 1423400 2724566 3365052 3015481 3750182 566362 74124 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1242713 1789988 1457609 2010469 2103583 8604362 1242713 1789988 1457609 2010469 2103583 8604362 2320556 6283806 1114 1399 21916 8230 9302 41961 4743 9399 -8686 -2384 216 3288 8649611 10047968 0.72650 0.65200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 46184 9446 55630 2452230 2507860 275393 68848 0 0 296320 303185 278925 275393 1153823 1730735 27873 42547 34700 55630 160750 74080 75796 69731 68848 288455 432683 8621 1430 8958 46184 65193 517594 273175 244419 916141 789272 126869 371288 4099358 74124 74124 4025234 0 4025234 3458872 0 3458872 0 3458872 1 Amherst H Wilder Foundation 451 Lexington Parkway North St Paul MN 55104 410693889 501(c)(3) 31500 0 Pass through grant for MN budget project. 1 Virginia McKnight Binger Unsung Hero Award for community service. 9 42075 Part I, Line 2: Applications included questions about the org's target audiences, proposed activities, partnerships, and estimated expenses.
