What's your passion?

Studies show that following your passion can lead to a longer, healthier more fulfilling life. What's your passion? 

 

Is it the environment? Making a difference in your community?

 

During the past year and a half, the Minnesota Environmental Fund has been engaged in a process of restructuring its Board of Directors and now we need your help to fill our board with passionate, motivated difference-makers. 

 

We invite you to click the middle image in the trio to the right or visit http://www.mnenvirofund.org/boardnom.html for more information and to access a Nominating and Recommendation form to express interest on behalf of yourself or someone else. 

  

The development of the new board is one of the final steps in our process to help the Fund become a stronger, more effective organization, capable of delivering vital funds to environmental causes in Minnesota now and in the future. 

Where were you in 1991?

1991 -- Sonic the Hedgehog was 'born'; the TV show Dallas ended and Home Improvement began; Minnesota had a blizzard on Halloween.

 

The Minnesota Environmental Fund was incorporated.

 

The Minnesota Environmental Fund was founded by six groups who banded together to offer an environmental choice in payroll giving programs: Friends of the Boundary Waters; Clean Water Fund; Izaak Walton League of America, MN Division; Land Stewardship Project; MN Conservation Federation; Audubon MN of NAS; Project Environmental Foundation (which was a project of Sierra Club and eventually became MCEA.)

 

The Fund has since grown to 24 organizations working on issues impacting Minnesota's air, land, water, food, energy, recycling, public health and climate change. After raising just over $90,000 that first year, the Fund has gone on to raise more than $10 million dollars for Minnesota's environment.

 

We couldn't have done it -- and can't continue to do it -- without you!
