Public Awareness:MCF educates the public, nonprofit organizations, the media, government and elected officials about philanthropy, trends in the field, and the grantmaking process. This occurs through the publication of MCF Notes, MCF Giving Memo, Giving in Minnesota report, and working directly with the media and the interested public. Data used to inform the public is generated through surveys of philanthropy and through national databases including a 3-year commitment to work with Impala. The Press Forward MN effort, hosted at MCF, aims to increase public awareness about the connection between quality local news and information and civic health.
