The Freedom Foundation of Minnesota (FFMN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and education organization in Minnesota. Founded in 2006, it develops and advocates the principles of individual freedom, personal responsibility, economic freedom, and limited government.
[edit] Core values
FFMN lists four major core values it adheres to:[1]
- 1. Our primary focus is limited government. We believe that a limited government provides unlimited opportunity for its citizens.
- 2. We believe in fostering open and honest debate.
- 3. We seek to inspire and assist the next generation of conservative leaders in Minnesota by providing opportunities to learn and explore free-market solutions.
- 4. We believe that results matter. We constantly measure our impact on the public policy debate throughout the state.
