The Minnesota Environmental Fund is proud to support Minnesota’s environment in partnership with Minnesota workplaces and leading nonprofit organizations. In 1991, we began offering workplaces the opportunity for their employees to give at work for the good of the environment- near and dear to people in our Land of 10,000 Lakes. We have since grown from six to nineteen nonprofit organizations that, every day of the year, are making a difference for clean water, natural areas and a healthy environment right here in Minnesota.
Mission
The Minnesota Environmental Fund engages individuals and workplaces to support leading nonprofit organizations that protect, conserve and restore Minnesota’s environment.
Vision
Shaping a sustainable and just future for Minnesota’s environment – clean water, clean air, clean energy, healthy food and natural places for wildlife and all people.
Values
The Minnesota Environmental Fund values and prioritizes:
the prevention of human health problems from air, water and toxic pollution.
the preservation and conservation of fresh water, marine and land resources.
the development of educational programs which promote a sound and balanced use of natural resources.
the preservation of biological diversity and wildlife habitat.
the monitoring of governmental enforcement of environmental laws.
general purposes that support maintenance of the natural environment.
Since 1991, we have raised over
$13,000,000
to support a healthy environment in Minnesota, thanks to the generosity of over 3,500 people a year and over 100 workplaces that offer employee giving.
