The Freedom Foundation of Minnesota put the North Star State on the list of states with two — count ‘em, two — think tanks that advance the ideas of liberty. Annette Meeks is the impetus behind FFM; she formerly served at the helm of the Center of the American Experiment in Minneapolis.

Formed in late 2006 the foundation “develops and actively advocates the principles of individual freedom, personal responsibility, economic freedom, and limited government.”

Meeks reports, "We are very excited to announce the beginning of our ‘Continuing Legislators Education’ on healthcare this summer. These roundtables are an opportunity for legislators to listen to and learn from free-market healthcare experts from around the country. Let's just say that reforming healthcare in Minnesota is a target-rich environment and we hope to make an impact on proposed legislation when the legislature returns to the capitol in 2008."

FFM’s website announces, “As an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the Freedom Foundation of Minnesota does not accept any government grants or funding.  Instead, we are proud to earn the trust and support of generous individuals, foundations, and corporations.”
