Minnesota is the site of NCRP's third in a series of reports from the Grantmaking for Community Impact Project (GCIP). In the newly released report "Strengthening Democracy, Increasing Opportunities: Impacts of Advocacy, Organizing and Civic Engagement in Minnesota" documented how 15 local nonprofits and their allies leveraged foundation grants to secure nearly $138 of benefit for every dollar spent for Minnesota's citizens. The first report looked at more than a dozen nonprofits in New Mexico.
Fifteen nonprofits from different regions in Minnesota featured in the research are:
- Advocating Change Together (ACT)
- Alliance for Metropolitan Stability
- Centro Campesino
- Churches United in Ministry (CHUM)
- Council on Crime and Justice
- Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM)
- Indigenous Peoples Task Force (IPTF)
- ISAIAH
- Minnesota AIDS Project (MAP)
- Minnesota Minority Education Partnership (MMEP)
- Minnesota Organization on Adolescent Pregnancy, Prevention and Parenting (MAOAPPP)
- National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Minnesota
- Range Women's Advocates
- Somali Action Alliance
- Three Rivers Community Action
In partnership with the Minnesota Council on Foundations and the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, NCRP is presenting the results on September 30, at a gathering in Minneapolis, M.N. The host committee for this event includes David Arons, American Cancer Society; Claire Chang, Saint Paul Foundation; Stephanie Haddad, Minnesota Council of Nonprofits; Trista Harris, Headwaters Foundation; Bill King, Minnesota Council on Foundations; Jon Pratt, Minnesota Council of Nonprofits; Lee Roper-Batker, Women's Foundation of Minnesota; Sandra Vargas, The Minneapolis Foundation; and Kate Wolford, McKnight Foundation.
