Giving in Minnesota: A Report on the State’s Philanthropy finds that the Gopher State’s community, corporate, and private foundations paid out a total of $613-million in 1997. That figure represents a 57-per-cent increase from what grant makers there paid out in 1994, compared to a 42-per-cent spurt nationwide during the same time period. The Minnesota Council on Foundations also found that the state ranked third in foundation giving per capita in 1997. The report delineates how much money went to eight subject areas.
