2012 Effective Grantmaking Series

MCF’s 2012 Effective Grantmaking Series is an all-new, can’t-miss workshop line-up. Whether you’re new to the field of philanthropy or already a pro who wants to update skills and knowledge, this series is for you. Sessions will cover a full range of hot topics -- from financial how-tos, to strategic philanthropy, to determining impact with evaluative thinking, and collaboration dos and don’ts.

This series is sponsored by Mayo Clinic, Medica Foundation and WCA Foundation.

All programs will be hosted by Youthprise in The Banks Building, 615 First Ave. NE, Minneapolis, MN, 55413
