MNCFR gives several awards in recognition of contributions to the family field each year.
- Ruth Hathaway Jewson Distinguished Service to Families Award is given to a professional in the family field who is recognized for outstanding work on behalf of families. Preference is given to individuals who are members of MNCFR and NCFR.
- Friend of the Family Award is given to a professional or organization who may or may not be in the family field, but who has made significant contributions to the quality of family life in Minnesota.
- Distinguished Service to MNCFR Award is given to a Minnesota Council on Family Relations member who is recognized for outstanding work to keep the organization viable and relevant in its important work for families.
