• The UpTake Institute played a crucial advisory role in supporting Bridgemakers as they took over the coverage of the Minnesota Legislature. This transition was part of the process as the Board of the UpTake Institute moves towards dissolving the 501c3 non-profit corporation. As of December 31 2025 the dissolution process was partially completed with the expectation of finalizing it in the current fiscal year 2026. As part of the dissolution assets are being transferred from the UpTake Institute to Bridgemakers another non-profit organization. Bridgemakers has been instrumental in supporting the ongoing operations of the UpTake Institute during this transitional period. This strategic transfer of assets ensures that the work and mission of the UpTake Institute can continue through the support of Bridgemakers. The collaboration between these two organizations highlights a commitment to sustaining the impact and legacy of the UpTake Institutes work in media and advocacy.
