MCF Peer Email List Use Policies
Participation in MCF’s peer email list discussions is limited to MCF members; members must be approved by a representative of MCF. (Minnesota Food Funders Network is open to anyone working to fund food issues in Minnesota.)
Please ask for permission from the source to quote anything shared via the peer email list. MCF cannot assure that information shared via the peer email list will remain confidential—please carefully consider the content you post.
MCF members are asked to refrain from discussing grant proposals or organizations seeking funds in this forum.
To reply to a message sent by a peer, click “Reply” to a peer email discussion topic. As a best practice and to reduce the number of daily emails to peer email lists you’re subscribed to, please avoid selecting “Reply-All” when responding, as messages will be sent directly to all members within the list.
