In this episode we'll talk about how Minnesota’s nonprofit sector continues to navigate a world still grappling with the impacts of COVID-19, reckoning with systemic racism, economic challenges and changes in charitable giving, threats to democracy, and more. In this podcast, the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits (MCN)’s associate director Kari Aanestad shares insights, highlights, and lowlights with regard to how the nonprofit sector is faring and what could be ahead for nonprofits and the communities they serve in the coming years.
Before stepping into the associate director role in August 2021, Kari served as MCN’s director of advancement where she provided leadership to MCN’s fundraising efforts, responsive research, and philanthropic reform initiatives.
