Josefson Family Foundation
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting educational initiatives. Its mission appears to focus on enhancing educational opportunities, particularly in entrepreneurial and STEM-related fields, as evidenced by its funding of an educational institution to attend an entrepreneurial education conference. The foundation serves educational institutions and organizations, primarily in Minnesota.

Ideal Applicant
A small Minnesota-based educational or STEM-related organization with an existing relationship or referral to the trustees and a request aligned to modest conference/educational support.
Good Fit
- • Local (Minnesota) education or STEM focus.
- • Requests for small, discrete expenses such as conference attendance or professional development.
- • An introduction or endorsement from someone known to the trustees.
- • Clear, narrow alignment with one-off educational objectives rather than large program funding.
Geography
Observed giving is limited to a single Minnesota recipient in the available history, and the foundation lists Minnesota as its state.
Recipient Variety
Across three years of filings there is only one distinct recorded grantee (the single $200 grant in 2022), indicating a very small observed recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public website or contact route; therefore unsolicited applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio.
