Upcoming Public Policy 

Trainings and Events

MCN holds policy workshops, trainings and issue briefings to ensure that nonprofits are educated and engaged on key issues facing the state. Most trainings and workshops are held outside of the legislative session in the summer and fall. During session we hold issue briefings as the need arises, and conduct policy workshops and trainings on request (time permitting).

Interested in having MCN train your staff or board on nonprofit lobbying and advocacy? Send a request to jeff@mncn.org

Public policy workshops:



Follow the Federal Dollars: A Guided Tour Through the Federal Budget Process

Would you like to become a more effective advocate on federal budget and policy issues? Advocates, community leaders, front-line staff and members of the public will all benefit from understanding how the federal budget process works - and how to participate in that process on behalf of the programs they care about and the people they serve.

In this workshop, you will gain an understanding of:

  • Key federal budget terms and concepts, and the basics of the federal budget
  • The timeline for the federal budget process
  • How the President's Budget is developed
  • How the Congressional Budget is developed and how it is enforced
  • Opportunities for input and advocacy in the federal budget process using some current federal issues as examples

This workshop is led by Steve Francisco,
Federal Policy Director for the Minnesota Budget Project - an initiative of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits. His current work includes organizing the nonprofit sector to become effective advocates with the state’s Congressional delegation on federal budget and tax policies that affect low- and
moderate-income Minnesotans.
With over 23 years of experience working in Washington as a Congressional staffer and lobbyist, he is familiar with a wide range of federal public policy issues. Steve earned his political science and law degrees from the University of Minnesota.

Time: 10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
Location: Minnesota Council of Nonprofits; 2314 University Ave. W., Ste. 20; St. Paul
