Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, especially Minnesota-based or with a clear Minnesota connection, working in youth development, education, or direct human services and seeking modest general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Minnesota or serving Minnesota communities
- • 501(c)(3) status with IRS determination letter available
- • Programs in youth development, education, or human services
- • Requests for modest unrestricted or program support (typical awards are a few thousand dollars)
- • Willingness to submit a concise letter and follow the mailed/contact instructions listed
Geography
Although grants in the latest year touched five states, 87% of the dollar volume and about 91% of grants were concentrated in Minnesota, indicating a primarily in-state focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad spread of support: 43 separate grantees received individual awards in 2023, with many small general operating grants rather than a few recurring beneficiaries.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows 43 new recipients funded in the latest year and zero repeats across the two observed years, and the foundation publishes letter-format application instructions and a named contact, supporting strong plausibility that unfamiliar applicants can gain entry.
