Grant Application Process
The Foundation funds a variety of non-profit organizations with priority going to programs that focus on education, health and human services and affordable housing for individuals living in the State of Minnesota. The Foundation places a high value on maintaining grant consistency year after year with their grantees.
The board generally meets quarterly. New organizations are asked to send a letter of inquiry first, before a full proposal. All proposals and letters of inquiry are reviewed, and organizations receive notice of the board’s decision within two weeks of the board meeting. There are no proposal deadlines. The Foundation funds general operation, program area and capital campaign grants. We do not fund individuals for scholarships or personal projects. All of the scholarships are granted through existing high school and post-secondary scholarship programs.
One letter of inquiry or on proposal per organization per year will be considered.
Introductory letter of inquiry to should be directed to:
