We support established organizations, collaborations, and emerging groups. We support single year or multi-year requests for programs or projects, operating support, and capital needs. In addition to our own direct grantmaking, the Foundation manages more than 350 donor advised funds, which allow donors to make grants to the nonprofits they care about most. Ask about our AdvisorConnect program, which matches donors and nonprofits. This is a program of Community Loan Technologies, which is a supporting organization of The Minneapolis Foundation.
Interest is charged on each loan.
A different application process is required for loans. Feel free to contact a program staff member before submitting a proposal. We also accept the Minnesota Common Grant Application Form. Selected proposals are then reviewed in more depth. Applicants will be notified within five weeks of submission regarding the status of the proposal.
