Using the bargaining power of our hundreds of members, we've negotiated a growing list of group discounts for MCN members. Cost-saving programs include retirement plans through Mutual of America, Directors and Officers Liability Insurance through Westport Insurance and adventure travel vacations for nonprofit staff from Wilderness Inquiry. Your organization can also take advantage of a national program the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits helped to establish. MCN members can save money by opting to join the National Nonprofit Unemployment Trust rather than participating in the state unemployment tax system. The members of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits need you to join them.
Numbers count in public policy and Minnesota's nonprofit sector needs a strong voice.
Your membership will support MCN's work as the state's advocate for the nonprofit sector. Advocating for the best interests of Minnesota's nonprofits and their communities MCN works on behalf of Minnesota's nonprofits at the state legislature, with city and county governments, and with our congressional delegation. Helping nonprofits to be effective advocates Advocacy training is a key component of MCN's public policy effort. Each year, we help nonprofits prepare for the legislative session and, as it unfolds, we keep them informed. We also support nonprofits in their efforts to design effective legislative and media advocacy initiatives.
