2024 MCN MCF Joint Annual Conference - 1100 x 360

Join 1,200+ colleagues and peers at the 2024 MCN & MCF Joint Annual Conference — an inspiring and educational event for Minnesota’s entire charitable sector.


The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits is excited to announce our 2024 Annual Conference, hosted in collaboration with the Minnesota Council on Foundations (MCF) on October 10-11 in Saint Paul! By bringing back a joint conference for the first time in 12 years, MCN and MCF aim to create two dynamic days of cross-sector reflection, peer networking, and learning. This special collaboration spotlights the best of Minnesota's independent sector and showcases over 30-years of cross-sector collaboration.

At this year's conference, we'll focus on the theme of Mosaic: Meaningful Collaboration in a Complex World. We invite you to join MCN and MCF to consider individual, organizational, and sector-based actions that can build connection, increase cooperation, and expand our missions' impact across the state. By the end of the event, you will shift the way you think about your role in the sector, build new relationships, and acquire timely tools and skills to increase impact within Minnesota.

  • 40+ breakouts on timely topics with a mixture of skill-building and action-oriented sessions and big-idea, vision-oriented sessions 
  • Two keynote sessions that offer equal parts application and inspiration 
  • Award luncheon featuring the presentation of the 2024 Minnesota Nonprofit Mission Awards
