| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 | - (continued from Part I, Line 1) Propel Nonprofits provides loans to nonprofits for facilities and working capital. We train nonprofit staff and boards to understand and build financial health, clear strategy, and strong governance practices. We provide expert knowledge, guidance, and insight for nonprofits about governance, planning, financial strategy, and sustainability.We consult and guide on strategy, organizational structure and financial plans, strategic alliances, and governance. We offer nonprofit accounting services and financial systems review. We provide fiscal sponsorship and support for emerging organizations and collaborations. |
| Form 990, Part I, Line 8 | - Properly Nonprofits regularly receives large, multi-year grants that appear as significant changes in contributions and grants from one year to the next. Because some of these grants have donor restrictions that limit their use to certain programs or to certain periods of time, these large, multi-year grants may also cause the total revenue less expenses or net income to appear negative one year, then positive the next, and back and forth. In FY2019, our total change in net assets is a positive $668,222 and our change in net assets without donor restriction (the more accurate measure of a nonprofit's annual operating results), is a positive 489,560. For a more complete picture of Propel Nonprofits' operating activity, please see our annual audited financial statements as made available at our website, www.propelnonprofits.org |

| Form 990, Part IV, Line 12a | Propel Nonprofits issues its own audited financial statements.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | - Propel Nonprofits' Conflict of Interest Policy is reviewed annually by all employees and board members. Each Staff member is required to disclose any dualities of interest in writing. Ne employees and board members review the policy and disclose any dualities of interest in writing upon first joining the staff or board.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | - The executive committee of the Propel Nonprofits' board of directors is responsible for reviewing annually the performance and salary of the president and CEO. Based on the review, the committee determines compensation for the president and CEO. In its salary determination, the committee engages an HR compensation consultant, considers salaries of CEO's in peer organizations with comparable experience, consults survey data of nonprofit executives, and reviews the history of the president and CEO's compensation. The president and CEO's salary was last reviewed in Fall 2018. No changes to the president and CEO's salary have occurred since that time. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | - Propel Nonprofits makes its governing documents and conflict of interest policy available to anyone upon request.

| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a | - Jean Adams, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Chief Operating Officer of The Minneapolis Foundation, serves on the Propel Nonprofits board of Directors. Because Propel Nonprofits is a subsidiary of The Minneapolis Foundation, Ms. Adams compensation by The Minneapolis Foundation is listed here as that of a related organization. |
| Form 990, Part XII, Line 1 | - While Propel Nonprofits did not change its method of accounting and maintains its books on an accrual basis, it has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-14 Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities.
