In 2020, MCN sponsored 210 public events with over 9,000 total attendees. While some educational opportunities were held in-person across Minnesota early in the year, MCN shifted to a mostly virtual environment beginning in March 2020. Offerings included four major conferences and hundreds of paid and free events focused on a wide range of topics including financial management, equity and justice, human resources, governance, accountability, fundraising, communications, leadership and more. In 2020, MCN continued its role as a researcher and publisher, releasing the annual Minnesota Nonprofit Economy Report, national research on the nonprofit sector, 2020 Salary and Benefits Survey, and Nonprofit News, a newsletter providing information on sector trends and resources. Through all of 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. 427091 66500 5650 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 2020, 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 2020 Census, nonprofits and election engagement, and public policy issues related to COVID-19. 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. 437471 40000 1128242 Membership: In 2020, 2,276 charitable organizations and 235 businesses contributed dues to support MCN's work. Nonprofit members receive discounts on publications, workshops and conferences, space rental and can post job openings on MCN's highly trafficked job board at no cost. In 2020, MCN members posted 10,247 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 881 free copies of regularly updated publications, like the Minnesota Grants Directory, Minnesota Nonprofit Salary & Benefits Survey, Handbook for Starting a Successful Nonprofit, and Principles and Practices for Nonprofit Excellence. MCN also capitalizes on the buying power of its members to negotiate lower prices and better service on many products and services that nonprofits need, including banking, insurance, employee benefits, office supplies, payroll processing and more. 908591 22500 42476 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 2020, 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 3 updated Nonprofit Economy Reports in 2020. 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. Advocacy: MCN undertakes advocacy efforts to strengthen the nonprofit sector and its ability to serve communities throughout Minnesota. MCN's major advocacy efforts in 2020 included: raising awareness of a change to MN election law and related privacy concerns; educating lawmakers at the state and federal levels about nonprofits that reimburse for unemployment benefits costs and advocating for financial relief; racial equity in state bonding, expansion of the Paycheck Protection Program, emergency funding for nonprofits due to impacts of COVID-19, and volunteer mileage reimbursement. 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 2020 advocacy priorities called for strong response at all levels of government to the pandemic and economic downturn to meet Minnesotans' health, safety, and economic needs, and build a more equitable recovery. This included advocating for new revenues needed to make those priorities happen. AmeriCorps VISTA: In 2020, MCN was awarded a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service to sponsor 16 full time VISTA members and 10 Summer Associate VISTAs at 15 different nonprofit organizations. MCN's VISTA program builds the capacity of nonprofits serving or led by BIPOC, immigrant, and refugee communities to overcome poverty. 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. 908591 22500 42476 2578496 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 26 0 1 41 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 Nonoko Sato 6517573063 2314 University Ave W No 20 St Paul MN 55114 Kenza Hadj-Moussa Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Thomas Adams Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cameron Kruger Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Beth Schoeppler Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Antonio Cardona Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Eunice Adjei Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Koeder Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Milpha Blamo Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary LaGarde Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Matheson Gruen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Schmidt Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joel Anastasio Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Theresa Gardella Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leondra Mitchell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Enrique OlivarezJr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joanna Ramirez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Schwartz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Warner Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daryl Yankee Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Voerding Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Pratt Executive Director 40.00 X 158896 0 7533 Nonoko Sato Associate Director 40.00 X 111565 0 20837 270461 0 28370 2 0 1 0 0 569340 1441129 2010469 Membership dues 900099 970422 970422 Workshops and educatio 900099 372755 372755 Sponsorships/marketing 511140 228385 215095 13290 Annual conference 900099 82516 82516 Publications 900099 65602 65602 54226 54226 1773906 8230 8230 210 0 210 210 210 Miscellaneous Income 900099 43 43 43 3792858 1760616 13290 8483 89000 89000 40000 40000 298831 136361 137580 24890 1568709 1145735 341619 81355 75053 55010 16171 3872 217348 157784 47916 11648 131161 90776 32991 7394 12700 12700 115526 92360 20408 2758 1088 1076 10 2 88113 80115 6521 1477 107667 76723 25322 5622 211118 146336 52921 11861 4132 4132 160654 158434 1840 380 108131 74837 27198 6096 7292 4860 2036 396 VISTA expenses 178784 178784 Bank and credit card fe 28035 19043 7441 1551 Dues and subscriptions 23215 16636 5169 1410 Bad debt 8765 8765 19915 10494 8701 720 3495237 2578496 755309 161432 180772 738593 10045 9829 919968 669318 69524 78193 7532 8324 101886 79352 1403454 940497 522402 462957 894784 968915 2706913 3015481 155744 127355 192814 163560 348558 290915 X 1168191 1557294 1190164 1167272 2358355 2724566 2706913 3015481 297621 68590 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1967702 1242713 1789988 1457609 2010469 8468481 1967702 1242713 1789988 1457609 2010469 8468481 2919264 5549217 1438 1114 1399 21916 8230 34097 5197 4743 9399 -8686 -2384 8269 8510847 10179130 0.65200 0.66670 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8958 25742 34700 2543796 2578496 278925 69731 0 0 288438 296320 303185 278925 1166868 1750302 35635 27873 42547 34700 140755 72110 74080 75796 69731 291717 437576 29789 8621 1430 8958 48798 517594 215664 301930 885860 724833 161027 462957 3861448 68590 68590 3792858 0 3792858 3495237 0 3495237 0 3495237 1 Amherst H Wilder Foundation 451 Lexington Parkway North St Paul MN 55104 410693889 501(c)(3) 25000 Pass through grant for MN budget project.

We sent a short application to 9 organizations, and received completed applications from 6. Applications included questions about the org's target audiences, proposed activities, partnerships, and estimated expenses. We saved all the applications as PDFs in our electronic files, and used a spreadsheet to track the grant statuses (application sent, application received, amount approved, check sent, etc). The focus of these grants was nonprofits that support people typically NOT targeted for voter outreach by other means, including BIPOC communities.
