Pay What You Can Rates
We encourage you to pay the registration rate that is meaningful to and possible for you and/or your organization. While earned revenue from our events is a significant portion of our operating budget, supporting the policy and advocacy work we do on behalf of nonprofits, we aim to keep our fees accessible, often below market rate, and offer further reduced entry points for those who need them to participate in professional development. If your participation is dependent on a PWYC rate, please register with the promo code that corresponds with your accessible price point below by September 11.
PWYC Rates:
- $49 (Code: PWYC49)
- $69 (Code: PWYC69)
- $99 (Code: PWYC99)
You will not be asked to complete an application to prove need. PWYC rates are the scholarship model for this year’s Summit. The rates are for individuals and do not apply to small- and large-group registrations. PWYC rates are available through September 11, 2024.
Small Team Registration – Register 3, Get 1 Free!
Send more people from your organization and get more out of the Summit. Register three people from the same organization at once and the fourth registration is free! To register online, one person will login to their MCN account and you will add colleagues to your group – your fourth colleague will be free!

Registration Policies & Accommodation Requests
Registrants who are unable to attend the Summit may send a substitute to attend in their place; please submit the change via email to MCN’s registrar. Cancellations received by September 11 will receive a refund minus a $35 processing fee. No refunds are available after September 11. See our full Registration Policies.
Breakout Room Seating Policy
Summit registration guarantees access to a choice of breakout sessions at different times throughout the day. However, registration does not guarantee a seat in any of the individual breakout sessions. Breakout rooms are assigned in advance of the conference. The safety of Summit attendees is always a primary concern, and may include closing a room if attendance exceeds the room capacity. We encourage early arrival to the breakout sessions to help ensure that a seat is available.
Accommodation Requests
MCN strives to ensure that the Summit is accessible to all individuals. If you have accommodation requests, such as sign language interpreters or other accessibility requirements, please submit your request during the online registration process or via email at info@minnesotanonprofits.org. Although we will attempt to meet all accessibility requests, requests submitted after September 11 may not be fulfilled.
