Through a generous $8,000 gift from Bremer Bank, all gifts from new and former MAP donors will be matched on a one-to-one basis. The increased portion of gifts from current donors also will be matched on a one-to-one basis. This match will be offered until December 31, 2012 or the match is reached, whichever comes first.

The results of Daring to Lead 2011, a national study on nonprofit leadership for which MAP was the local partner, reveal that 84% of nonprofits have been negatively affected by the recession. It is in these challenging times that MAP matters most to the community.

In 2012, MAP has added two important research documents to the nonprofit sector, Unleashing Innovation: Using Everyday Technology to Improve Nonprofit Services, and Success Factors in Nonprofit Mergers. (The former in partnership with Idealware, thanks to support from ADC Foundation; and the latter in partnership with Wilder Research, thanks to support from the Greater Twin Cities United Way, Wells Fargo, The Huss Foundation and The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota.)

Reflecting on the economic climate, one of our nonprofit clients recently said “MAP has its finger on the pulse of nonprofits and offers the best services.”

Today our work focuses on developing bold, strategic, and courageous leaders, helping leaders and organizations adopt astute and realistic strategic directions, helping boards to govern attentively and responsibly, helping organizations to operate legally, effectively and sustainably, and helping organizations to realign, through collaborations, joint ventures, mergers and program transfers and organization dissolutions.

Please make a gift to MAP today. It is because of contributions from donors like you that we are able stay up-to-date and offer high quality, cost-effective consulting and services to the nonprofit community.
