Testimonials

“We’ve been blessed with resources, but with three kids, one thing we’re kind of short on is time. Both of us wanted to give locally, especially to smaller organizations. The Minneapolis Foundation helped us do that by researching nonprofits that are doing great work on issues we care about.”
–Jeremy and Tricia Hedberg

“My wife and I established a Donor Advised Fund after we sold our company. Another option might have been to start a private foundation, but the complexity of that . . . no way. We didn’t need to complicate our lives, and yet we wanted to be helpful to our community.”
–Martin Peyer
