Prospective applicants should use the foundation’s published guidance and online application portal, align proposals tightly with stated program areas (and emphasize Midwest or Minnesota relevance where applicable), and follow submission rules precisely (including uploading attachments via the portal). Building programmatic fit and documenting partnerships or intermediary roles is helpful; relationship-building with program staff can supplement a formal application but is not the only route given the public process.
