Bigelow Foundation, Mardag Foundation and 1,600 other affiliates across Minnesota, and Philanthropedia, a subsidiary research arm of GuideStar, today announced the results of custom research that identifies the effectiveness of environmental nonprofits operating in the state of Minnesota.

The expert-identified, high-impact nonprofits will be highlighted on Philanthropedia's website, GuideStar's Take Action website, and MNSights magazine, a free bi-annual publication by Minnesota Philanthropy Partners, to help donors learn and connect with high-impact nonprofits. "As more and more donors demand transparency, accountability and evidence of impact from nonprofits and the foundations that recommend them, this research becomes an invaluable tool for foundations looking to provide donors with in-depth information on the effectiveness of the nonprofits operating in their own backyard."
