What Minnesota Business Partnership Education Foundation does
Mission
To maintain a high quality of life for all minnesotans by ensuring that the state's economy remains strong, globally competitive, and its prospects for growth bright by supporting education initiatives.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Minnesota's future award: monetary awards to a school with a student population with a high rate of ethnic diversity and/or low income and high achievement rates based on statewide test scores.
$75,000 spent100% of program spending
The program described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $75,000.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $114k to $66k (−42%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of MINNESOTA BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $31k → $30k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 79% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of MINNESOTA BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
MINNESOTA BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MINNESOTA BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 84% · 2023 33% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
79% of MINNESOTA BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP EDUCATION FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $15k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $56k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
