Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized community nonprofits (often with a Minnesota connection) seeking one-time or program grants in areas like education, health, religion, social welfare, animal welfare, veterans, or local community services.
Good Fit
- • Clear Minnesota presence or partnership with Minnesota communities.
- • Request size in the typical $1K–$10K range.
- • A focused, local program or event with measurable outcomes.
- • Brief, letter-style introduction and clear contact details for follow-up.

Geography
Grants appear across nine states, showing multi-state reach, but about half of dollars went to Minnesota in the latest year, indicating a strong in-state concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 37 distinct recipients spanning many purposes and sectors, with both new and returning grantees, which indicates a broad and diverse recipient portfolio for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover (16 new recipients in the latest year and prior-year new-recipient counts), and filings list application/contact instructions plus a named trustee and mailing/phone route, all suggesting unfamiliar applicants can and do enter the portfolio.
