For your employees
Adding the Minnesota Environmental Fund as a workplace giving choice makes it possible for your employees to help protect and preserve the natural resources that are the lifeblood of our communities. We empower your employees to make a difference in their community while at work. In addition, employee morale increases when employees have giving options that reflect the issues they care about.
The Minnesota Environmental Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Employee contributions through workplace giving are tax-deductible.
For your company
Protecting the environment creates a better place for you to do business. Companies that offer an environmental giving option support economic development and build bridges to the community. More than 100 companies, nonprofit organizations, cities, and schools across Minnesota offer our workplace giving program to their employees.

For our community
The money we raise through workplace giving safeguards human health and protects the environment. We protect clean air and pristine wetlands, rivers and scenic lands, and ensure a healthy, sustainable food and energy supply for Minnesota families. We address the issues that impact the health of our families and our communities.
For our environment
Since 1991, the Minnesota Environmental Fund has raised more than $13 million to help fund the work of our member organizations. These dollars have
positive impacts on Minnesota’s environment every year. Together with our member organizations, we work to provide every Minnesotan with clean water and air, healthy food, environmental education and access to the outdoors. Employees have the option to select one or more organizations to support, or distribute their donation across all of our members groups.
