Mission & Approach
Our Approach
Established in 1915, The Minneapolis Foundation is one of the nation’s oldest and largest community foundations.
We manage nearly $700 million in assets, and administer more than 1,000 charitable funds created by individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits. More than $30 million in grants are distributed from these funds each year, either personally recommended by or in accordance with the legacy wishes of our donors.
As a community foundation, we invest and distribute charitable funds created by members of the community. We build and steward a permanent charitable endowment and distribute the income from it to benefit our community. We distribute approximately $5 million each year ingrants to improve the quality of life in our region.
We convene the community around critical issues and partner with others to make a difference. We do this through our Minnesota Meeting public affairs forum and in other ways, providing leadership and collaborating with others to realize a vision for a community in which everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
