Natasha Triplett pushed a cart of food to a car Wednesday morning at the CEAP office in Brooklyn Center. The nonprofit is seeing a 25% increase in the number of first-time clients in need of help.

Minnesota nonprofits lost an estimated $1 billion in revenue in April because the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of fundraising events and reductions or closures of other revenue-generating programs.

The Minnesota Council of Nonprofits has released the results of a survey of the state's nonprofits, part of a national survey conducted in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank on how the coronavirus outbreak and economic downturn are affecting the sector.
