The Minneapolis Foundation Awards 49 Community Grants for $1.4 million

Imagine a city where jobs pay a living wage and parents can shape their family's future; where kids have caring adults outside of their family and feel safe at school and play; and where people enjoy the security of an affordable home. Imagine a place without inequalities. That's our vision for OneMinneapolis. Sadly, today's reality is a far cry from that vision.

Grants totaling $1,425,000 are making us closer to achieving OneMinneapolis. In June 2012, we awarded 49 Community Grants to organizations under our three areas of focus for community impact - transforming education, promoting economic vitality, and building social capital. Browse through the categories below to see the activities we're funding and the outcome we hope to achieve.

Community Grants are awarded from an endowment created by generous Minnesotans through bequests and other unrestricted gifts, as well as from our funding partners. The supported activities will help achieve a set of key results, ultimately leading to greater social, economic, and racial equity in our community. All funded activities will lead to measurable outcomes for Minneapolis residents.
