Join Us for a Nonprofit State of the Sector Briefing and Brunch!

Join the Brainerd Lakes Area nonprofit community for brunch and an exclusive Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN) State of the Sector briefing—live and in person! MCN Vice President, Kari Aanestad and Halla Henderson, director of public policy and research, will break down the latest insights from the MCN Nonprofit Current Conditions Report and provide timely legislative updates.

Don’t miss this chance to stay informed and connected—RSVP today!

Please note the time change: The 2026 State of the Sector briefing will be held from 9:00–10:30 a.m., rather than during the lunch hour as we have in the past

Make a Difference at Review Day! Join us in supporting local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations as they receive transformative investments through the Impact Funding Program—empowering them to create lasting change in our communities. On review day, applicants will present their project ideas to local nonprofit representatives, who will have the opportunity to ask questions and vote on the recipients. Sourcewell’s Nonprofit Advisory Council will review and ratify these votes to confirm funding and bring these community visions to reality. Awarded projects will be notified of their status by the end of November. Voting is open to any charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd, and Wadena counties and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, not just those applying for funding. All nonprofit staff, volunteers, and board members are eligible to attend (a total of four per nonprofit).
