MCN Research: Taking Growth and Surveying the Sector

Minnesota Nonprofit Cultural Economy Reports 

Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN), has conducted three research projects designed to provide more in-depth information about organizations that serve those of cultural background.  This information is useful in telling the community about the importance of the work of these organizations and will increase the visibility of these organizations as contributors to strengthening our society and enriching the quality of life for minority communities.

MCN RESEARCH

Tracking Growth

Minnesota has a vital nonprofit sector, which is experiencing rapid growth. MCN documents this growth every year in the Minnesota Nonprofit Economy Report. The Minnesota Nonprofit Economy Report is designed to provide an overall picture of developments in Minnesota's nonprofit sector, and to set the stage for an examination of the potential impact of block grants and budget cuts on nonprofit organizations. Included in this section is information from this report and other resources about Minnesota's nonprofit sector:

Surveying the Sector

MCN also conducts surveys that measures the health of the sector by tracking information about nonprofit revenues and expenditures.  In early 2004, MCN surveyed nonprofit organizations to find out what was happening to their funding sources and what the resulting impact on their programs and services would be.  An article about the survey result appeared in the April 2005 edition of Minnesota Budget Bites, the newsletter of the Minnesota Budget Project.
