Why Minnesota's individual giving totals aren't bouncing back after recession
Charitable giving in Minnesota continues to rise since the recession, according to a report released today from the Minnesota Council on Foundations.
The report shows that foundations, corporations and individuals collectively gave more than $5.7 billion in 2012. That's up 2 percent from the previous year.
While foundation giving has returned to pre-recession levels, giving by individuals has not.
Trista Harris, president of the Minnesota Council on Foundations, joins The Daily Circuit to talk about how much Minnesotans are giving, which causes they're supporting and how giving has changed in recent years.
