IRS990/Description0FROM 2006-2011 THE MINNESOTA EARLY LEARNING FOUNDATION (MELF) RAISED 20 MILLION IN PRIVATE FUNDS FROM MINNESOTA'S GENEROUS PHILANTHROPIC COMMUNITY. DURING ITS EARLY YEARS OF OPERATION MELF SUCCESSFULLY RESEARCHED, BUILT, AND LAUNCHED PILOT PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT WOULD MOVE IT CLOSER TO ACHIEVING ITS MISSION - TO RECOMMEND COST EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO PREPARE CHILDREN FOR SUCCESS IN KINDERGARDEN. BEGINNING IN 2010, MELF BEGAN A GRADUAL SHIFT IN FOCUS FROM BUILDING AND OPERATING PROGRAMS TO INCORPORATING ITS LEARNINGS INTO POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS. THE MELF BOARD THEN MADE A DECISION TO GO BEYOND REPORTING ITS RECOMMENDATIONS, INSTEAD CHOOSING TO WORK TO IMPLEMENT THEM. IN RESPONSE, MELF LAUNCHED A PUBLIC RELATIONS CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE MINNESOTANS ABOUT BOTH THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY LEARNING AND THE NEED TO REFORM THE EXISTING SYSTEM, AND A RELATED ADVOCACY EFFORT TO PASS THE PROPOSED REFORMS THROUGH THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE. THE RESUULT OF THESE EFFORTS IS A COMMITMENT FROM THE STATE TO TAKE MELF'S SIGNATURE REFORM, PARENT AWARE, A SYSTEM THAT GIVES PARENTS INFORMATION ABOUT THE QUALITY OF EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS BY RATING THEM ON A ONE-TO-FOUR STAR BASIS, FROM PILOT STATUS TO A STATEWIDE SYSTEM. 2011 IS MELF'S PREDETERMINED LAST YEAR OF OPERATION. MELF SPENT ITS FINAL MONTHS SUMMING UP ITS WORK AND SOLIDIFYING ITS LEGACY. SEE WWW.MELF.US FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.
