Take Action
Policies are about people. If we want Minnesota to be a state where everyone can thrive, regardless of race, income, or where they live, we need bold and just policies. It is more important than ever that policymakers hear from everyday Minnesotans and the organizations that serve them to create a stronger, more equitable state.
Get involved by adding your voice on issues impacting our families, children, communities, and you.
For organizations
Sign onto our letter calling for the bold leadership Minnesota needs for a strong future
Many Minnesotans continue to struggle to afford their lives, facing rising costs and ongoing economic uncertainty. Nonprofit organizations are bracing for the full impact of federal cuts and harmful policy changes to Medicaid, SNAP, and other public services, while trying to weather uncertainty and disruption from other federal threats.
The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits and the Minnesota Budget Project believe Minnesota needs to step up for Minnesotans, and we need additional state revenues to do that. Sign your nonprofit organization onto this letter educating candidates for the state Legislature and the governor’s office on what’s at stake next year at the Capitol and why bold leadership is needed for a strong future for our state.
Impact of federal decisions on nonprofits
The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits is actively engaging with elected officials to monitor the latest federal orders and memos.
Below is the latest news, vetted resources, calls to action, and background on these decisions to help you navigate this uncertainty.
