Ideal Applicant
A community-based nonprofit, especially in the St. Croix Valley or St. Paul metro, seeking general operating support, capacity building, or capital support aligned with health, women & children, food security, housing, education, or related social services.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves Washington County (MN), Pierce/Polk/St. Croix counties (WI), or the St. Paul metro.
- • Request is for general operating support, capacity building, or an identifiable capital project.
- • Work focuses on women and children, health services, food security, housing, or community education.
- • Clear local impact and partnerships in the St. Croix Valley region.
- • Prepared application materials including the annual report and adherence to posted guidelines and deadlines.
Geography
Observed giving is regionally concentrated: roughly three quarters of dollars go to Minnesota with a primary focus on the St. Croix Valley and a secondary focus on the St. Paul metro, though grants also appear in about a dozen other states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (266 grants to 220 distinct organizations) spanning many program types and grant sizes, indicating broad institutional variety rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
There is an explicit public application process (website, published guidelines, online form, and deadlines) and the latest filings show a meaningful number of new grantees (42 in 2024), so unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path to entry.
