Grantmaking Update

Please note that we will not be accepting grant proposals in February, 2013. We will spend the next few months assessing and refining our grantmaking strategy. We look forward to sharing our next steps with you in the spring. Learn more.

How to Respond to an RFP (funding currently available)

Step 1 – Review RFP deadline, criteria, and other information

Step 2 – Follow instructions on the login page to obtain a password. New applicants must go to the login page and then look for the link entitled "Become a Registered Grantee Organization."

Step 3 – Submit your answers and any required attachments online

When you register for a username and password you will need:

Organization Legal Name
Employer Identification Number (Please contact Andrea Porter at aporter@mplsfoundation.org if you do not have one.)
Contact Name (Person submitting proposal)

Primary Contact Name (If different from above)

Title(s)

Address

Email(s)

Phone Number

Please note and plan ahead: Please follow the instructions to register on the login page to get a username and password, "Become a Registered Grantee Organization" on the left hand side of the online application login page. You do not have to request a username and password if you already have one for a previous application.

Technical support for applicants will be available up to two business days before the deadline but not the day of the application deadline. Please start your application early. 

Given our limited grantmaking resources, we want to be as respectful of your time and efforts as possible. To that end, we've created a questionnaire to determine if your organization and activity are eligible to receive Community Grants. 

In addition to our grantmaking, we work collaboratively with an extensive variety of local partners, from nonprofit service providers to advocacy groups, public agencies and businesses. If you do not fit our grantmaking guidelines but are working to Transform Education, Promote Economic Vitality, and Build Social Capital, let us hear from you.

As always, if you have questions we invite you to contact us directly.
