The Minnesota Supreme Court made a decision on Dec. 6 that narrows the eligibility of the charitable property tax exemptions. The Court ruled that a Red Wing nonprofit day care center does not qualify for the property tax exemption because the organization failed a single element of the longstanding definition of charity. The broad-reaching implications could affect hundreds of nonprofits.
MCF is working in partnership with the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits to address the implications of these issues for the nonprofit community and grantmakers. We will keep you up-to-date as these efforts evolve.
