give to the max is here!
The biggest campaign to make Minnesota a better place is about to start in November, and this year the MNSCC efforts are fully focused on our MICROGRANTS PROGRAM!
Helping Those Involved With The Justice System Rebuild Their Lives.
Through our Driver’s License Reinstatement Microgrant Program, we offer small microgrants to pay for traffic fines and fees for individuals impacted by the criminal legal system so that awardees can reinstate their driver’s license on their road to independence.
We Need Your Help!
During Give to the Max, we need to raise $15,000 in order to continue and EXPAND this program. We hope you will partner with us to have a direct, immediate, and lasting impact on the lives of our awardees. Please give what you can!
About Us
Through advocacy and support, we help those involved with the justice system rebuild their lives.
The Minnesota Second Chance Coalition is a bipartisan 501(c)3 nonprofit consisting of hundreds of nonprofit member organizations and individuals. Collectively, we believe in second chances.
Get To Know Your Legislators
The legislative seats in the state are up for election in November, and officials will have to make policy decisions on a number of topics, including re-entry.
To help Minnesotans get to know their legislators, we asked each candidate to answer a brief questionnaire about second chance issues.
Our Stories Success Impact
We believe that people have the power to change.
The power of storytelling lies in its ability to provide a window into the lived experiences of marginalized people whose voices are often ignored. These stories describe the impact of mass incarceration and the successful reentry of individuals into society.
