 twin cities grants

In the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, the Foundation focuses grants in the areas of youth nutrition and fitness, social services, education and arts and culture. Beyond financial resources, we also support organizations with volunteers and mentors who share their expertise and talents.
