Grantmaking Updates in Response to COVID-19
Updated June 18, 2020
In times of crisis, we recognize that the ways we support our community need to be flexible and responsive.
We are committed to supporting response and recovery needs related to the COVID-19 global crisis and the unrest in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder.
We have been listening to community, learning and evaluating how we can best support you. Our new grant program has been redesigned to respond to what we’ve been hearing. Our upcoming grant round for the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, as well as our partner foundations Mardag Foundation and F. R. Bigelow Foundation, will open on June 30 with a deadline of August 4.
We will share more information by June 30 through email, social media and on our website. Please take a moment to make sure you are signed up to receive updates from the Foundation.
See additional resources and funding sources on our pandemic resources page.
