Overview
Mission
Move Minnesota leads the movement for an equitable and sustainable transportation system that puts people first. We are passionate about connecting communities, ending the climate crisis, expanding access to jobs and resources, and improving daily life for minnesotans of all ages, races, incomes, and abilities.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community engagement: move Minnesota engages communities who have been historically left out of transportation planning - including youth, women, people with low incomes, communities of color, people with disabilities, and other minnesotans who depend on transportation options every day. Across all backgrounds, walking, bicycling, and using transit are incredible ways for us to connect with each other, be present in our community, and expand our relationships.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
