Minnesota NOW Foundation

The Minnesota NOW Foundation is the educational and charitable arm of the Minnesota chapter of the National Organization for Women. It is a qualified 501(c)3 organization under IRS rules. All contributions made to the Minnesota NOW Foundation are tax deductible under 501(c)3 guidelines.

The Foundation may hold programs, conduct research, collect and publish facts, and engage in other work to combat discrimination. Unlike Minnesota NOW, it is not engaged in political lobbying nor grassroots political organizing.

Members of Minnesota NOW are also automatically members of the Minnesota NOW Foundation.

Some of our efforts have been:

  • We joined efforts with the Minnesota Billboard Project to fund billboards educating the public about safe abortion as a health care right. Billboards appeared near the State Fairgrounds, near Duluth, and in Mankato and St. Cloud, both on heavy-traffic routes.  For more info and to donate to this fund, click here.
  • In this time of rampant disinformation campaigns designed to sway public opinion, the Minnesota NOW Foundation has taken on a role in delivering fact-based issue education and advocacy to the public.  We have had info campaigns about the need for an Equal Rights Amendment and for safe and legal abortion access.  We connect with people at community events and conferences, and at the State Fair.
  • Scholarships for NOW members to attend the very successful National NOW Conference which we hosted in Minnesota, so no member was left behind for economic reasons.  In the end, it was one of the best attended conferences in recent history; over 350 people participated in setting NOW’s Feminist Agenda!
