Community Shares of Minnesota raises awareness for and funds community groups fighting for fairness and equality. And, our focus on long-term solutions is what makes our work so important today — problems like poverty, discrimination and pollution don’t solve themselves, and, left alone, only get worse. After more than 30 years, we still remain a pioneer in some interesting ways.
The majority of our board is made up of those from the community groups we fund; being community-led means we understand what is happening around us in real terms. It also means we have become a nucleus for sharing ideas and networking. But none of this would be possible without an underlying passion that is a common thread between our member groups and our donors — our aim is to make sure the next generation is freed from the challenges that many, many people still face today. With your help, we’re getting there. Charity is good. But change is better. You can create positive, long-term change in your community by visiting our Web site at www.changeisbetter.org and making a donation. Stay in touch with Community Shares on Twitter & Facebook. Community Shares is your local match for creating direct change in our community.

Produced by Morgan Spurlock and starring "The Reverend Billy," this docu-comedy aims to get consumers to think about their spending. From conducting an "exorcism" at Wal-Mart Headquarters, to an uninvited appearance at The Mall Of America, this is a preacher who is not afraid to tell it like it is or get arrested. This movie will make you laugh...and think...right before you begin your holiday shopping!
