FMR rated a top Minnesota nonprofit!

Minnesota Philanthropy Partners is made up of community foundations that play an active role in helping Minnesota donors make the best possible giving decisions. Earlier this year, in partnership with philanthropic research company Philanthropedia, the Partners conducted a study of the state's environmental nonprofits to determine which do the most good and how donors and volunteers can help. FMR made the list of those with the highest impact, and we are grateful for this recognition of our effectiveness from community experts.
