Minnesota K-12 Education Credit and Subtraction helps families pay

Discover how local youth-serving nonprofits have created their logic
models, individual evaluation plans, human subject reviews, and data collection
systems to produce evidence-based research. The goal is to prove that these programs

your ability to apply and receive grants from state, federal and large
foundation sources.
