The application period for the East Metro 2020-2021 Campaign Institute ended on September 25 at 5:00 p.m.
Applications for a second cohort for Greater Minnesota nonprofits to open in the first half of 2021.
The Institute is an opportunity for small- and medium-sized nonprofits to receive expert fundraising coaching and peer learning around their organization’s fundraising strategy and infrastructure. Below, read more about applications for this year’s cohort, including eligibility and requirements, the application process, and more.
Below, you’ll find more information about the now-closed application process in Fall 2021. This information is provided mainly for organizations in the selection process so that they may refer to Institute materials throughout the interview rounds and into the Institute itself.
Locations served in this cohort
Organizations applying for this current Campaign Institute cohort should be located in or primarily serving either the Twin Cities East Metro (Dakota, Ramsey, and Washington Counties) or Greater Minnesota (all additional Minnesota counties except Anoka, Carver, Hennepin, or Scott.)
