We are a partner to thousands of donors and nonprofit organizations working to help us meet our aspiration: A just and vibrant Minnesota where all people and communities thrive.
2021 presented us with opportunities to rethink, regroup and reflect on how to best do our work.
We are proud of our donors, our staff, the board that enables our work, our partner organizations and the community we live in, for all that we collectively achieved last year.
