What United Nations Association of Minnesota does
Mission
The United Nations Association of Minnesota promotes the activities and principles of the United Nations in the state of Minnesota.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The largest and most significant program we conduct is our Model UN program for high school students. In their classrooms in advance, their teachers work with them to select a country of interest and prepare an issue to discuss and promote to the entire general assembly of the United Nations. We help to organize this and then the students come together for a full day at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN to meet with one another and collectively conduct business as the UN does. We conduct two of these sessions each year involving a total of about 1200 students from about 15 area schools along with 20 or more teachers. Volunteer man hours at least 1,000.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION OF MINNESOTA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION OF MINNESOTA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION OF MINNESOTA.
“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
100% of UNITED NATIONS ASSOCIATION OF MINNESOTA'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16k 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.
