Local Independent Charities of Minnesota

The primary purpose of Local Independent Charities of Minnesota (LIC MN) is to screen and certify charities that meet standards for inclusion in corporate and government workplace charitable fund drives.

LIC MN and partner charities are committed to our children, our schools and neighborhoods; enabling the poor, homeless and disabled to gain independence and security; finding relief for the disadvantaged; strengthening families, and rescuing unwanted animals.

Local Independent Charities of Minnesota is proud to partner with a wide range of nonprofits that reflect the values of donors to fulfill our mission making our communities better places to live by protecting and educating children, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, strengthening families, rescuing unwanted animals and more.

There are many fundraising venues available to donors as they seek established and responsible nonprofit organizations to support. Local Independent Charities of Minnesota educates contributors about the work we and our partners do to help children, families, the poor, the ill and disabled and the elderly.

Beyond traditional workplace giving, Local Independent Charities of Minnesota assists generous donors in giving to the causes that mean the most to them by offering more effective ways to give online, provide recurring sustaining support, employer matching and legacy giving opportunities, and mobile device giving capabilities, through corporate, government and municipal fund drives.

Local Independent Charities of Minnesota is supported by the most experienced and respected professionals in the nonprofit world. We offer integrated support to partner organizations that are community based.

Partner charities are thoroughly screened to guarantee that they provide exceptional Program Service and fiscal responsibility. Donors can be confident that their generosity is funding the most trusted animal charities assuring the greatest impact. These standards of review meet and exceed the guidelines of Charity Navigator, Guidestar and the Combined Federal Campaign.

Local Independent Charities of Minnesota is a critical source of revenue for our local partners. Through workplace giving, every year our organization connects millions of employees with local charities. As the working environment continues to change, so have we continued to identify and develop giving strategies responsive to the remote workplaces, shared jobs and distributed locations of our generous donors.
