The Minnesota Council on Foundations compiles a ranking of the top corporate
funders each year based on cash contributions made by the corporate
foundation and/or corporate giving program. In order to ensure that
grantmakers are compared consistently, we do not include in-kind or other
non-cash contributions in making the rank listing.
* Grants Paid in Minnesota includes only the corporate foundation's grant
dollars and does not include the corporate giving program grants.

contributions of $147 million for the fiscal year ending 1/28/2006. A
