Giving in Minnesota, 2011 Edition, features information on overall giving in 2009, which includes data from the fiscal years of Minnesota foundations and corporate giving programs that end between June 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010. This is the most recent time period for which complete data are available. Because all grantmakers do not use the same fiscal year, and because foundations are allowed several months to file an IRS 990 or 990-PF tax return, there is some lag time before data are available to MCF for analysis.

MCF is releasing a first look at data on giving to the areas of education, human services and the arts prior to the release of the complete Giving in Minnesota, 2011 Edition. The full report will be available in October 2011. As subject-area data are released, they will be listed below.
