Approximately 870,000 children and youth in Minnesota aged 25 and under are not currently on a path to economic self-sufficiency—but together we can help them prepare for a brighter future. By combining state-level policy with locally driven solutions, we ensure that more students thrive in school and more families earn good wages, and we create a stronger economy for all Minnesotans.

EPC and our nine member organizations are transparent and trusted partners with audited financial statements, annual reports to the Minnesota Department of Education and StriveTogether, and biannual reports to the Minnesota State Legislature. 

For every dollar invested in EPC by the Minnesota State Legislature, EPC member organizations bring in more than $6 in additional funding to support our work across our communities.
