Because of the tremendous growth of the programs, and Mr. Law's inability to fund the entire program personally, in 1996 MRD was incorporated as a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization. We are currently seeking funding from foundations and individuals, for general operating and program specific expenses. All donations are used directly to provide program activities, and services. Our Minneapolis Recreation Development, Inc. projected budget for Calendar Year 2011 is $192,600:
