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 state-level advocacy priorities in 2019 included preventing the expiration of an essential funding source of state affordable health care options, increasing access to affordable child care, and advancing policies for a more inclusive economy. In addition, it promoted a more sustainable and equitable tax system, particularly by identifying key policies to prioritize everyday Minnesotans in the state's efforts to respond to federal tax law changes, and by leading efforts to expand the state's tax credits for workers and their families.AmeriCorps VISTA: In 2019, MCN was awarded a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service to sponsor 19 VISTA members at 18 different nonprofit organizations. MCN's VISTA program builds the capacity of nonprofits serving or led by immigrant and refugee communities and communities of color to overcome poverty.
