Through its Absent Narratives approach and strategy, the Organization puts the under-represented and untold stories and experiences of marginalized communities at the heart of school, community, and organizational planning for the future of Minnesota. Whether these marginalized communities are ethnic minorities, veterans, or immigrants nd refugees, the Organization's programs work to guarantee that the wisdom and knowledge in these communities is seen and represented as essential to creating a successful future together; a future founded on expanding economic and social opportunity.The Absent Narratives approach has brought work which was traditionally considered separate programs under one program entity; it permeates all activities whether programs for teachers, development of resources for educators and communities or community programming.MHC was also responsible for administering Legacy Funding for the Children's Museums throughout Minnesota, four Hmong Cultural Heritage grants, six Somali Cultural Heritage grants, eleven Cultural Identity grants, three Minnesota Civic Education Coalition grants, two Community Partner grants, and 82 NEH CARES grants. In addition, MHC administers the Healthy Eating Program. 226435 268139 Event Center: In addition to its Educational programming, MHC operates a full-service event center, as created by the State Legislature in 1996. In addition to housing programs of MHC, this restored architectural landmark serves educators, social service providers, other nonprofits, state colleges and universities, and state agencies and community groups seeking to improve both their individual work and the quality of life for all Minnesotans, by providing high quality, cost effective meeting and event space for educational and public programs, and staff education and development. 8025155 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 284 0 1 33 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 26 26 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MN X X X Aby John 6517724291 987 Ivy Avenue East Saint Paul MN 55106 Kevin Lindsey CEO 40.00 X 202973 0 30223 Johua Ney Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mattie Harper DeCarlo Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Sherry Sanchez Tibbetts Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lynne K Leaf Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Nancy Aronson Norr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Bauer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Brock Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Will Cooley Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Marcheta Evans Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Antonia Felix Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr J Wes Flinn Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Hamlar Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary L Hilfiker Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amina Jaafar PhD Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kirsten Johnson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Kuskie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Warren Larson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kristie Lazenberry Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Matt Lindstrom Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Carter Meland Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jordan Metsa Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica O'Brien Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Lynn Petersen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Roby Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Schaufenbuel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jay Sieling Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 MayKao Fredericks CHO 40.00 X 112857 0 3348 Aby John COO 40.00 X 125049 0 6255 Casey Demarais Director of Stratagy 40.00 X 116878 0 6825 Rose McGee Humanities Griot 40.00 X 118296 0 28027 676053 0 74678 4 0 1 0 Robert Half PO Box 73295 Los Angeles CA 90074 Consulting & Program Production 300831 OMG Digital Media Solutions LLC PO Box 50274 Minneapolis MN 55405 Consulting & Program Production 137900 Danger Boat Productions LLC 5028 18th Ave S Minneapolis MN 55417 Consulting & Program Production 119205 Courageous Change Collective LLC 3237 40th Ave S Minneapolis MN 55406 Consulting & Program Production 100939 4 5267663 167393 5435056 Event fees 900099 560315 560315 Conference center rent 531190 268139 268139 MHC educational progra 900099 72519 72519 Publication sales 900099 1028 1028 902001 182437 182437 150937 171661 -20724 -20724 -20724 6498770 902001 -20724 182437 X 4038241 4038241 163082 163082 837081 534904 254834 47343 1064434 688810 314701 60923 25023 14762 8949 1312 358754 211638 128302 18814 170350 113168 47188 9994 23450 23450 72000 72000 1909138 1596531 312607 231440 122427 103856 5157 29711 8718 12246 8747 187284 34430 148057 4797 41708 26952 12363 2393 75210 59994 14770 446 43090 20684 19600 2806 173050 111826 51294 9930 57450 37124 17029 3297 Production cost 194235 180721 13175 339 Supplies 59076 40948 17687 441 Repairs and maintenance 37563 3709 33854 Dues and subscriptions 36523 3472 33051 68613 13014 55599 9896506 8025155 1694612 176739 140 217264 116246 57389 24775080 19735092 114875 119568 21453 0 5948282 2054198 4043030 3894084 1497374 3240351 0 330638 30568198 27594386 625643 787910 68474 120236 105502 814353 893412 X 9047664 8704416 20706181 17996558 29753845 26700974 30568198 27594386 X -3397736 15790 329075 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2000385 1831339 3984202 23025734 5435046 36276706 2000385 1831339 3984202 23025734 5435046 36276706 36276706 80936 26576 17245 100904 182437 408098 36684804 0.98890 0.99200 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 72000 0 0 72000 0 Part II-B, Line 1: The Minnesota Humanities Center contracts with a legislative counsel to help keeo the importance of the humanities at the forefront of the legislature. 66840 16738 83738 64613 2911 684 66840 79402 -14087 702 64613 62772 17378 748 79402 58885 3887 62772 1.00000 0 0 5753910 1934988 3818922 194372 119210 75162 3894084 6686221 15790 171661 187451 6498770 0 6498770 10068167 171661 171661 9896506 0 9896506 Part V, Line 4: Earnings will be used annually to honor one or more Minnesota historians and/or outstanding work of Minnesota History Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Rental expenses 171,661.
