We're proud to partner with a range of organizations throughout the state to fulfill our mission and improve the quality of life for all Minnesotans.

Among our many partners are nonprofits; corporations; educational institutions; hospitals; governmental agencies; cities, suburbs, and other geographic communities; professional advisors; and local and national foundations.

In addition to our community partners, we've joined with other family, corporate, and community foundations who share our grantmaking goals.
