Health and Well-being of Children, Youth, and Families

The Minneapolis Foundation supports systems change and policy efforts to increase opportunities for low-income and disadvantaged children, youth and families, particularly communities of color.

Sample activities may include:

• promoting social justice and human rights by addressing disparities and other inequities in service delivery and funding of public programs
• educating the public on disparities in health, education, and other quality of life areas and on the benefits of addressing these issues at the earliest possible age
• addressing the needs of new immigrants, refugees, and migrant populations in accessing systems and community supports
• identifying and documenting emerging needs of underrepresented and disenfranchised groups
