Giving in Minnesota, 2003 Editionoffers a detailed analysis of grant making and private giving in Minnesota in 2001. According to the study, corporations, foundations, and individuals contributed more than $4.1-billion to charities, a 1-percent decline from the previous year. The report breaks down this data by grant-maker type, geographic area, and recipient. Surveys of the members of the Minnesota Council on Foundations suggest that the economic downturn had a negative effect on giving in 2002 and 2003 as well.
