Jon Pratt has championed Minnesota nonprofits for three decades, starting and leading one of the first and the largest statewide nonprofit associations in the country.
Pratt, executive director of the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, announced this week he will step down in 2021 after years of pushing for policy changes at the Legislature, advocating for nonprofits and leading research on the sector. He will make way for a new leader at a critical time for charitable groups responding to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
