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.
Our two Building Community Capacity grant rounds will be different as we adopt a new Grant Portal.
The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, F. R. Bigelow Foundation and Mardag Foundation will move to a new enterprise system and Grant Portal in 2022. The technology will change, but the grant guidelines will not change.
