Ideal Applicant
A Minnesota-based or regional nonprofit seeking modest general operating support or small program grants, with existing relationships or referrals into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Minnesota or serves the regional area the foundation targets.
- • Request is for general operating or modest program support in the typical $2K–$10K range.
- • Organization has an existing relationship, introduction, or prior connection to the foundation's officers or past grantees.
- • Mission aligns with the foundation's recent giving (human services, cancer support, food security, youth programs).
Geography
Observed grants span four states but are concentrated in the foundation's home state, which received about 64% of dollars in the latest year; footprint is regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 13 distinct grantees, indicating a moderately broad recipient set for a micro private foundation, though a high repeat rate and top-five dollar concentration suggest a stable core of favored organizations.
New Applicants
Across two years the portfolio is relationship-driven with 12 of 13 recipients repeating and filings indicate grants go to preselected organizations; one new recipient was observed in the latest year, but the declared 'only preselected' practice and lack of a public application path make entry for unfamiliar applicants unlikely.
