The Star Tribune nonprofit 100 is a measure of the largest nonprofit organizations in Minnesota ranked by revenue. Data presented also includes the company's total expenses for the year, the ratio of expenses to revenues, the excess of revenues over expenses and the total compensation of the organization's top executive.
Nonprofits, charities and charitable trusts registered with the state must file IRS Form 990 with the Minnesota attorney general's office each year. Most of the financial information for organizations on our list was taken from their 2006 Form 990s or from audited financial statements.
The Star Tribune's list includes the top officer and that person's total compensation, including salary, contributions to employee-benefit plans and deferred compensation, plus expense accounts and other allowances.
The recession of 2008 has hit nonprofits harder and faster than previous recessions. At the same time they are facing decreased donation they are being asked to cut budgets and expenses in 2009. The nonprofit sector reports financial information on a slower yearly cycle than private companies do, so the Star Tribune's annual Nonprofit 100 survey relies on the most recent information reported by Minnesota nonprofits. For most organizations on this year's list, that's 2007 - the calm before the storm. Overall, most of the state's largest nonprofits appeared strong as they headed into toughest economy in decades.
