Central Minnesota Nonprofit SummitCentral Minnesota Nonprofit SummitCentral Minnesota Nonprofit SummitCentral Minnesota Nonprofit Summit

The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits is hos�ng their sixth annual conference for nonprofits in Greater

Minnesota, this year in St. Cloud on May 5. This day-long event is designed to bring together staff, board

members and volunteers from across Minnesota to learn, network and strategize. The Summit is

especially designed for small to mid-size organiza�ons, especially those working in regional centers,

small towns and rural communi�es.

This year's Summit will tackle some of the most pressing themes for nonprofits in Greater Minnesota: rural philanthropy,

fundraising in small communi�es, and a spectrum of nonprofit leadership including governance, personal leadership,

organiza�onal culture, advocacy and more. Throughout each discussion, they will look at the ways that these issues play out

in our Greater Minnesota communi�es and they'll highlight opportuni�es for building a vibrant landscape for all.

Morning Keynote Session: Reversing the Current of Underinvestment in Rural Communi4es

During the opening session, you'll have a chance to hear from Minnesota-na�ve Aaron Dorfman, execu�ve director of the

Na�onal Commi+ee for Responsive Philanthropy. Aaron will help you grasp how founda�ons and nonprofits can advocate

for greater funding and succeed in small towns and rural communi�es.

Luncheon Keynote Session: Fundraising and Thriving in a Rural Economy

Over lunch, you'll have the opportunity to hear from a panel of speakers who will reflect on the theme of fundraising and

thriving in a rural economy. They'll address the ques�ons, "Is there a rural funding drought?," "How do we build leadership

in Greater Minnesota?" and "What are nonprofits doing to thrive in small towns?"

Go to www.minnesotanonprofits.org to learn about addi�onal session offerings and to register. Early bird rate available
