Help MNI help your newspaper – Donate items, then bid early and often in the MNI Silent Auction!
The MNI Silent Auction at the MNA Convention & Trade Show is one of the largest single fundraisers of the year for the Minnesota News Media Institute, MNA’s nonprofit foundation.
MNI is MNA’s nonprofit, and it’s the only nonprofit dedicated to providing student training and professional and workforce development for MNA members. MNI is a 501(c)3 and donations are tax deductible.
Have items to donate or need more information? Contact Amanda Klint at amanda@mna.org.
News people from around Minnesota who value MNI-funded programs – Online Media Campus, the MNI Internship Program, Citizen Journalism University, MNA Student Sessions and more – donate dozens of auction items for you to bid on Jan. 29-30, 2026, at the 159th Annual MNA Convention & Trade Show.
The more we raise, the more MNI can do for MNA members!
