NAMI Minnesota MEETS ALL STANDARDS 

NAMI Minnesota has been reviewed by the Charities Review Council, an independent organization that researches and reviews non-profit organizations in order to help Minnesotan's make informed giving decisions. The Council evaluated NAMI's accountability standards in four areas: public disclosure, governance, financial activity and fundraising.  After a thorough review of NAMI Minnesota's annual reports, fundraising materials, bylaws, board minutes, and financial statements, the Council concluded: "The National Alliance on Mental Illness of Minnesota (NAMI Minnesota) meets all standards of the Charities Review Council."
