Building a stronger Minnesota
Join organizations using insights from our Minnesota Community Survey to create positive change. Every survey captures authentic perspectives from harder-to-reach populations, including Black, Latino, Asian, and rural residents.
Our approach is straightforward: Build a diverse community of state residents who share their views regularly and receive fair compensation for their time.
We're (seriously) good with numbers.
Make data-driven decisions that strengthen your community
Transform how you serve your community with nuanced insights that reveal:
-
What your communities need and value
-
How your programs create meaningful change
-
Where you can maximize your impact
Our community-centered research helps you build trust, measure progress, and tell powerful stories about the difference you're making.
Whether you're a nonprofit empowering communities, a state agency shaping policy, or a business serving diverse populations, we'll help you understand the people at the heart of your mission.
