We partner with renowned organizations to advance systems change through data, relationships, and networks. In 2025, The Collective expanded the MN LEAD initiative, a multiracial effort to build a strong, interconnected ecosystem that proactively addresses legal challenges to race-conscious grantmaking, programs, and activities. MN LEAD helps shape narratives, provide education, and support strategic efforts for racial justice for nonprofit organizations throughout MN. 603573 449500 New Suns Fellowship: Since inception, the Collective has been committed to supporting the genius of Black leaders. Through the New Suns Fellowship, we create one-of-a-kind experiences designed to sustain the well-being of leaders as they build resilient organizations, contribute to a connected ecosystem, and build a movement for Black-led Change. Fellowships include flexible funding for well-being, sustainability, and readiness to lead. Retreats and convenings offer immersive spaces for reflection, strategic planning, and community-building. Fellows also serve as a brain trust of advisors to the Collective, guiding responsive organizing and philanthropic investments aligned with our mission. 341182 13125 Events & Convenings: We continue to strengthen the ecosystem of those that serve the Black community through community convenings, retreats, and more. For example, in 2025 we hosted The Collective Sum, a three-day immersive summit that blends deep learning, community building, and collective strategizing. Together, we explored bold ideas at the intersection of culture, economic power, and civic engagement. Attendees engaged in conversations and strategies that respond to today's challenges while staying true to our values. Another example is our Rooting engagement. For 4 years, Rooting has been a premier social gathering series curated for people working, leading, and serving the Black community in the social sector. At Rooting, we network, strengthen relationships, break bread, and reflect with one another on what it takes to be well and work for a more just MN. 199054 16000 Other Program: We work to harness the power, leadership, and brilliance of Minnesota's Black communities to create transformational solutions across the justice system, safety, economics, health, and well-being. Other program investments are used across community-based grantmaking, organizational infrastructure, programming, endowment, research, and convening to resource and advance the ecosystem of Black-led change and to expand who can impactfully participate in philanthropy. 199054 16000 1890916 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 28 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 MN X Lulete Mola 6122937787 2429 Nicollet Ave Minneapolis MN 55404 Shawntera Hardy Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rachel Hardeman Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Aretha Green-Rupert Chair/Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jai Winston Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lulete Mola President & Co-Founder 40.00 0.00 X 175196 0 29919 Stacy Papier-Meister Sr Director of Ops & Admin Lead 40.00 0.00 X 110479 0 34188 CeMar Peterson Sr Director of Impact 40.00 0.00 X 109325 0 11256 395000 0 75363 3 0 1 0 Entourage Events Group Inc 212 2nd Street Southeast Minneapolis MN 55414 Event Management Company 151812 Change Consulting LLC 331 Jefferson Street Oakland CA 94607 Impact Communications 132401 2 2216392 2216392 101734 101734 30344 30976 -632 -632 -632 400 400 400 2317894 0 0 101502 X 366500 366500 366500 366500 470364 301102 95645 73617 98488 63849 18935 15704 2138 1277 559 302 5860 3501 1532 827 39400 25491 7534 6375 232202 225027 1115 6060 1258 1258 100774 100774 15475 15475 26 26 242555 162114 45982 34459 12956 7347 3124 2485 18417 11073 4782 2562 9000 5754 1896 1350 8860 5178 3618 64 350377 336017 6372 7988 4921 238 4683 Board and Staff Develop 25198 5355 16974 2869 Dues and Publications 5326 4500 800 26 1151 93 1058 2377746 1890916 316667 170163 714797 1239951 3094886 2185935 1336156 540446 9148 14848 1015955 5154987 4997135 42825 28273 110000 20000 152825 48273 X 2314071 3105044 2688091 1843818 5002162 4948862 5154987 4997135 -59852 6552 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5830885 2704113 2216392 10751390 5830885 2704113 2216392 10751390 2949945 7801445 20405 128620 101734 250759 400 400 11002549 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 0 0 25000 0 0 1000000 1000000 0.75000 0.25000 0.00000 0 0 0 X 2324420 6552 6552 2317868 26 26 2317894 2377720 0 2377720 26 26 2377746 Part X, Line 2: The Collective's activities are generally exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Since the Collective is exempt from federal and state income tax liability, no provision is made for current or deferred income tax expense. The Collective is not a private foundation. Management has determined that the Collective is not subject to unrelated business income tax. Management is not aware of any transactions that would impact the Collective's tax-exempt status. The Collective follows the guidance of the Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, related to uncertainties in income taxes, which prescribes a threshold of more likely than not for recognition and derecognition of positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, management of the Collective is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions. All tax-exempt entities are subject to review and audit by federal, state and other applicable agencies. Such agencies may review the taxability of unrelated business income, or the qualification of the tax-exempt entity under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. For federal tax purposes, the tax returns remain open for possible examination for a period of three years after the respective filing deadlines of those returns.
