A Home. For Good.

The goal of the Mankato Area Foundation Shared Spaces Philanthropy Center is simple: to have a dedicated community space focused on enhancing charitable giving. We want this location to become a home for all nonprofits or individuals working to promote philanthropy. We want to create an atmosphere that strengthens an understanding of how important charitable giving has been and continues to be for our community.

The Mankato Area Foundation Shared Spaces Philanthropy Center features office space for the MAF staff, a conference room open to anyone hosting conversations about giving and a unique set of facade panels that communicate what is important to our community, its legacy and vitality.
