Meet Our Donors

Thank you to all our members and friends who have made a donation to Mill City Commons in 2025! Forty percent of our member households, through either a personal donation, Qualified Charitable Distribution or member-directed gift from a foundation, supported Mill City Commons above and beyond their membership dues. The generous in-kind contributions and volunteer hours members gave to make our programs happen – board and committee work, hosting an event, organizing an event and/or providing a member with a ride or a meal when needed -- were equally valuable.

Members and friends contributed just over $71,200 towards Mill City Commons' operating expenses and made additional contributions to community outreach projects. Your generous support and involvement are critical to our sustainability and are greatly appreciated!

“We heard about MCC when we moved to Minneapolis in 2007. We love the idea of a neighborhood community with programs, activities, and a network of helping neighbors.”
