Grantmaking Public Charity Dues
MCF’s grantmaking public charity members take many forms, and often resemble community foundations. They include public charities that make grants, operate programs and may serve as funding intermediaries. These include, but are not limited to, Minnesota Initiative Foundations and United Way agencies. The category of Grantmaking Public Charity is used solely for the purposes of calculating dues and does not impact MCF's programs or peer networks.
Given that MCF’s grantmaking public charity members often have many community-facing programs that would not benefit from MCF membership, their dues are assessed based on regular grantmaking. Regular grantmaking includes any funding strategies that occur year-after-year.
Grantmaking public charities self-report annual regular grantmaking from their most recent completed fiscal year; this is often equivalent to Page 1, Part 1, Line 13, “Current Year” on completed 990 forms. Some one-time non-recurring grantmaking may be disregarded, on a case-by-case basis.
