SHAPING OUR COMMUNITY. FOR GOOD.

Mankato Area Foundation

Since 1974, the Mankato Area Foundation has been dedicated to building a community that believes in the strength of giving. Today, we continue to shape Greater Mankato by connecting acts of giving with community needs. As a permanent, trusted resource, donors look to MAF for the expertise needed to make their charitable giving more effective, impacting lives now and for generations to come.

Whether you're searching for a cause you care about, looking for ways to give back, exploring community partnerships, or simply curious about local programs making a difference, the Directory helps you connect with nonprofits in Blue Earth and Nicollet Counties.

GIVING IN ACTION

Philanthropy Review

In our most recent issue of the Philanthropy Review, you'll notice a lot of action words: strengthen, energize, transform, honor. Because when people like you choose to act with generosity and intention, incredible things happen. Behind every story and every gift is someone who chose to do something meaningful.
