A recent Transfer of Wealth study was conducted by the University of Minnesota Extension, indicating that significant assets will be transferring from one generation to the next in Minnesota over the coming decade and beyond.
The Minnesota Council on Foundations is interested in building on the data and findings in the study to develop messaging and materials to encourage individuals and communities to capitalize on the transfer of wealth, for the benefit of nonprofits and communities across Minnesota. The selected consultant would be charged with developing messaging and materials that could be utilized by a variety of groups that engage in fundraising, donor relations, and financial services to have a unified message as it related to the transfer of wealth and the opportunity it creates for our communities. Users of these materials would likely include community foundations, United Ways, nonprofit development professionals, financial and tax advisors, estate planners, etc.
Read more about the opportunity and selection criteria.
Proposals are due Friday, December 6.
Prospective consultants are welcome to contact MCF Vice President Katina Mortensen for further information and discussion of the opportunity. She can be reached at kmortensen@mcf.org or 612-335-3597.
