Ideal Applicant
Small, locally rooted nonprofits or community groups in Minnesota—especially schools, faith-based groups, community events, or organizations requesting modest grants or program support who can submit a short letter of request.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in or serves Cottonwood/Minnesota or has an existing relationship there.
- • Request is for a small-to-midsize grant (typical awards under $5,000).
- • Purpose aligns with community support, human services, or local faith-based initiatives.
- • Applicant can follow a simple letter-based submission and provide clear program need.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: the foundation is based in Minnesota and roughly 70% of latest-year dollars went to Minnesota, though smaller awards went to two other states (including India).
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded seven distinct recipients and the three-year record shows 5 recurring grantees alongside occasional new entrants, indicating a moderate spread of independent local beneficiaries despite dollar concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
A public website, explicit application instructions (rolling letter-of-request) and a named contact are present, and the observed grants include new recipients in recent years, so unfamiliar applicants who follow the submission instructions appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
