What
does community mean to you? To The Minneapolis Foundation, it’s a belief
that when each of us does better, we all do better.
Support organizations
and programs that serve the common good and general welfare of our
community as determined from year to year by the Trustees of The
Minneapolis Foundation. The Community Endowment provides the most
flexible source of support for our community – today and for future
generations.
Since
1915, generous individuals, families, and businesses have left
charitable gifts to the Foundation to strengthen and sustain our quality
of life. We use those gifts to ensure every individual and neighborhood
in Minneapolis has the tools and opportunities needed to thrive. Under
our current strategic plan, our Community Grantmaking supports efforts to transform education, promote economic vitality, and build social capital.
Through
grantmaking, advocacy, and public awareness, we support proven and
promising local efforts and promote constructive dialogue and action on
critical issues. We’re particularly invested in fairness in opportunity
and recognize that our community can’t afford to leave anyone behind.
