Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit working on social equity in St. Cloud/central Minnesota or on climate mitigation/clean-energy justice in Minnesota, seeking operating support or capacity-building grants and able to submit an online LOI or engage with program staff.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on social equity in St. Cloud/Central Minnesota
- • Climate, energy-democracy, or farmer leadership projects based in Minnesota
- • Requests for general operating support or capacity building
- • Willingness to begin with a short online LOI and participate in follow-up conversations
- • Local or regional presence in Minnesota or demonstrable partnership with Minnesota communities
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in Minnesota (about 88% of 2024 dollars) though grants touched organizations in 13 states; the footprint therefore reads as state-focused rather than strictly local or broadly national.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a large number of distinct organizations (92 recipients in 2024 and 140 in 2023) with many small and mid-sized awards, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's scale.
New Applicants
There is a clear public LOI process and named program officers; the latest year shows 42 new recipients among 92 grantees, so unfamiliar organizations have demonstrably entered the portfolio—while noting that two program areas (global warming and end-of-life) are handled by invitation.
