Government-nonprofit partnerships can be a powerful way for nonprofits to fund programming and fulfill missions. But the grant contracting process can often feel daunting, especially for small nonprofits with limited resources.

If you’ve recently received a grant from the government, make sure to check your agreements and ensure that you know exactly what you’re signing up for. MCN has a Government Grants/Contracts Checklist that can help you understand what you should be looking for in these contracts, and what questions to ask.

MCN is seeking nonprofits to highlight in our upcoming 2026 Minnesota Nonprofit Economy Report. Do either of the following situations apply to your nonprofit? If so, we'd love to feature your organization in our report:

👉Your organization was able to increase wages for staff;
👉Your organization broke even in 2025, or ended in a surplus, but you're still struggling with increased expenses, increased demand for services, and/or impact of organizational morale.

If one or both of these apply to your nonprofit and you're interested in sharing your story, please contact MCN Research Manager Shonni Krengel at [email protected].

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Nonprofit Fundraising Conference! Despite a harrowing fundraising environment, nonprofits are showing their resilience, raising funds needed to support their missions even during challenging times. The conference showed off the grit, passion, and scrappiness that have always powered our sector, and showed that we are so much stronger when we work together.

This day of professional development would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A warm thank you to Lake One, BILL, Blue Key Media, C E print + promo, and Palmer Non-Profit Communications.
