Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Midwest climate policy, decarbonization, and clean energy implementation
  • Twin Cities affordable housing, homeownership, and community wealth building
  • Arts and artist fellowships in Minnesota, including capital projects
  • International agroecology and farmer-research networks (West Africa, Andes)
  • Civic engagement and democracy work in MN, MI, WI, OH
  • Neuroscience awards, routed through the McKnight Endowment Fund

Typical grant

The median grant is $75,000 and half of everything falls between $30,000 and $125,000, so most of the portfolio is modest, multi-purpose support. The seven-figure checks go almost entirely to funds and intermediaries (GroundBreak Coalition at the Minneapolis Foundation, Energy Foundation, Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, Family Housing Fund) rather than to project teams. Repeat giving is heavy: the same regional intermediaries, community foundations, and policy shops appear year after year, sometimes twice in the same year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • for general operating support
  • equitably decarbonize the Midwest
  • equity-centered
  • capacity building
  • underserved communities

Positioning adjacent work

  • Tie research to Midwest state policy implementation, especially IRA federal funds deployment and building or transportation decarbonization.
  • Ask $200,000 to $500,000 for a defined body of work; reserve seven-figure framing for pooled funds and intermediaries.
  • Name the affected communities and who leads the work; they fund BIPOC-led and community-governed structures explicitly.
  • For agriculture, mirror their farmer-research network and seed systems language rather than generic food security framing.

Worth knowing: Roughly two-thirds of grants go to Minnesota recipients, and the DC and California addresses are mostly national intermediaries funded to work in the Midwest, not to work nationally. The Wyoming, Utah, and Washington community foundation grants are family-directed donor giving and unrelated to programmatic strategy; neuroscience money moves through the foundation's own endowment fund rather than to outside labs directly.
