What Outfront Minnesota does
Mission
Outfront's mission is to create a state where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (lgbtq) people are free to be who they are, love who they love, and live without fear of violence, harassment or discrimination. In our effort to make our state a place where all people are valued, we engage in community education, organizing, anti-violence and legal services and policy advocacy. The overall goals of our work are to: (1) strengthen teh movement for lgbtq equity; (2) develop leaders who can organize others to work toward lgbtq liberation; (3) win over the hearts and minds of minnesotans.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Through our legislative organizing work, we build coalitions of concerned parents, students, healthcare providers, faith leaders and professional associations to advocate against abusive practices such as conversion therapy. We mobilize thousands of supporters to take action against these kinds of assaults on lgbtq rights. This organizing work helps build our base in key communities around the state to act when harmful legislation is proposed. Through our youth, college, trans, policy and faith leadership teams,we worked to pass gender inclusion policies through local school boards and worked on a state lelvel to enact policies to enact lgbtq equity. This work includes organizing thousands of minnesotans to work for lgbtq inclusion and equity in their communites. Overall, outfront staff and leaders trained over 7000 people on lgbtq inclusion and advocacy.

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 2021 to 2022, from $98k to $538k (+446%).
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.
121% of OUTFRONT MINNESOTA’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

42% 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 OUTFRONT MINNESOTA.
