Annual Conference

MCF's not-to-be-missed yearly gathering for valuable learning and peer networking.

2024 Annual Conference

Each year, MCF hosts an annual opportunity for statewide networking and peer learning.

For the first time since 2012, MCF and MCN (Minnesota Council of Nonprofits) are partnering to host the largest gathering of nonprofit and philanthropic professionals in Minnesota! Taking place on October 10-11 in St. Paul, the 2024 MCF & MCN Joint Annual Conference features two days of learning, relationship building, solution development, and celebration. Our theme will be Mosaic: Meaningful Collaboration in a Complex World.

Reach out to Paul Masiarchin with questions.

*Save the dates for our 2025 MCF Annual Conference, coming to the Twin Cities on Wed-Thur, February 19-20, 2025.
