2016 Impact Report
A Driving Force for Gender Equity
In 2016, our Board of Trustees approved a bold 10-year strategic plan to serve as a road map for the decade ahead. Our new, enhanced mission – a statewide community foundation investing in innovation to drive gender equity – is reflected on each page of the Impact Report.
The Women’s Foundation of Minnesota is committed to managing financial resources efficiently, effectively, and transparently.
We welcome inquiries related to our investment strategies, partners, and performance. Please contact Heidi Walsh, Vice President of Finance and Operations, with questions or to request more information at (612) 236-1858 or heidi@wfmn.org.
Annually, the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota engages independent auditors to audit our financial statements and review the effectiveness of our internal controls. Results of our audit are typically released in August. These are available for download below.
Additionally, the Foundation prepares an annual IRS Form 990, an informational return for U.S. tax-exempt organizations and nonexempt charitable trusts reporting assets, investments, expenses, and grant activity. These are available for download below.
