Mission

With roots in Saint Paul since 1940 and partners across the state, we are Minnesota's largest community foundation and the partner of choice for thousands of donors, professional advisors, nonprofits and community organizations. We inspire generosity to make Minnesota better for all who call it home.

Our highly skilled team supports more than 2,000 charitable organizations and donor funds and manages nearly $1.5 billion in assets, including F. R. Bigelow Foundation and Mardag Foundation. In keeping with our mission to share knowledge and resources to benefit the communities we serve, we work consistently to further our three strategic goals:

-Inspiring generosity
-Advocating for equity
-Investing in community-led solutions

We bring together donors, nonprofits and community members to address some of the biggest problems facing Minnesota communities. Our partners are change agents, and together we invest for good to make a lasting impact in our communities. Join us!
