Minnesota paid nonprofit organizations $4.7 billion in 2005 but lacked proper oversight of nonprofit grants and had a 'fragmented and inconsistent approach' to managing grants, a state legislative audit report found.

The report, released this morning, found it particularly problematic that some of the funds were granted by the Legislature — not through a competitive bidding process.

It also found agencies' nonprofit policies were patchy and inadequate."
