Follow The Money: Joyce Foundation, Part 1

The lesser known Joyce Foundation of Chicago turns out to be a big funder of Minnesota NGO's.  In this Google doc I list some of the grants given by Joyce to Minnesota-based non-profits in the area of energy, water, and transportation.  As you can see, in some years the dollar amounts exceed $1 million.

Notable among the many grants was one for $150,000 in 2008 for the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy to hire more lawyers to file more coal-related lawsuits.
