Ideal Applicant
A small Minnesota-based charity, school, or community organization seeking modest unrestricted support for education, disability services, or local social programs.
Good Fit
- • Based in Minnesota (in-state recipient historically preferred).
- • Asking for small grants in the $1K–$10K range.
- • Work aligned with education, disability services, or local social/community needs.
- • Ability to document local impact and operate in the Winona/Minneapolis region.
- • Willingness to submit an application when requested and to use a rolling submission process.
Geography
Giving in the latest year was entirely within Minnesota and prior-year grants were overwhelmingly in-state with only a small out-of-state share, indicating a local, state-focused footprint.
Recipient Variety
Across the two observed years the foundation supported multiple independent recipients (five in 2022 and two in 2023, with no repeats across years), showing a modest but not extensive diversity of grantees for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes a contact route on the corporate site, lists a named contact with phone and address, states that applications are available upon request, and funded new recipients in the latest year, which together indicate a realistic path for unfamiliar applicants to enter the portfolio.
