MINNEAPOLIS FOUNDATION

When we launched in 1915, the concept of a community foundation was just a year old. The innovative idea behind it-a place-based organization that allows residents in a community to pool their charitable giving-would go on to transform philanthropy. Today, innovation continues as we redefine the role a community foundation plays in lasting change... One of the key differences between a community foundation and a commercial provider of charitable funds is the people. We are a mighty team with a blend of professional and lived experiences and the passion to back it up... We believe that those closest to issues are best positioned to understand and address them.
