Statewide Affiliates

THE SAINT PAUL & MINNESOTA FOUNDATION SUPPORTS LOCAL, VOLUNTEER-LED COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS ACROSS THE STATE OF MINNESOTA through our community affiliates program.

Every year, supported by our Philanthropic Services team, these foundations grant thousands of dollars into their local communities. Community members drive the grantmaking process at each foundation. Their fundraising and outreach efforts help build permanent funds to invest in their region for years to come.
