Minnesota fundraising report finds nonprofits seeking $1.5 billion

For the first time since 1997, the Minnesota Council on Foundations has published a report on capital and endowment fundraising campaigns among the state's nonprofits.

The total for current campaigns: a hefty $1.5 billion, but more than half of the amount comes from two college campaigns.

Full-text report "Capital and Endowment Campaigns in Minnesota: 2007 - 2008" is available via The Minnesota Council of Foundations.
