Initiative Foundations in Top 25 (again!)

Since 2001 all six of the Minnesota Initiative Foundations have ranked in the Top 25 Minnesota Community and Public Foundations.

And 2008 was no different!

The Minnesota Council on Foundations just released their results for last year and all of the MIFs were listed again. Ranked by the total amount of grants awarded, here's where we all ended up:

• 9: West Central Initiative ($3.6M)
• 13: Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation ($2M)
• 16: Northland Foundation ($1.6M)
• 17: Northwest Minnesota Foundation ($1.4M)
• 18: Initiative Foundation ($1.2M)
• 21: Southwest Initiative Foundation ($1M)

That's almost $11 million in grants to nonprofits and organizations that are dedicated to improving communities in greater Minnesota. Yowza! And none of it would have been possible without generous donations from hundreds of individuals and businesses!
