Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2022–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

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

Health systems and hospital foundations, Twin Cities and Stillwater
Saint Paul and East Metro human services, food, housing, legal aid
K-12 education, Catholic and independent schools, scholarship funds
Arts, culture, public media and libraries in Ramsey County
Land, water and environmental conservation in Minnesota
Native-led, Latino and immigrant community organizations

Typical grant

Half of all grants fall between $10,000 and $50,000, with a median of $22,564, so the working range for a new relationship is a five-figure check. The seven- and eight-figure awards go to affiliated health foundations, community foundation partners and donor-advised fund intermediaries rather than to program applicants: one $80 million transfer to Lakeview Health Foundation is roughly a fifth of all dollars on file. Repeat giving is the norm, with 4,078 grants going to 2,167 recipients across three years, so most funded organizations show up in more than one year.

Their words

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

“MULTIPLE GRANTS FOR MULTIPLE PURPOSES”
“Foundation”
“Friends of”
“Community”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor the ask geographically to Saint Paul, Ramsey County or the East Metro, which dominates the recipient list.
Ask $25,000 to $50,000 for a first grant; six figures signals an existing institutional relationship.
Connect adjacent work to health access, education equity, food systems or river and land conservation.
Identify a donor-advised fundholder or affiliate fund (Warroad, Waseca, Red Wing) as the actual entry point.

Worth knowing: This is a community foundation, so much of the flow is donor-advised and fund-transfer activity rather than staff-directed grantmaking: American Endowment Foundation, National Philanthropic Trust and Vanguard Charitable all appear as recipients, and the California, Florida and New York grants track individual donors rather than any strategy. Purpose fields on the 990 all read the same, so the record shows who is trusted and how much, not what was funded, and 3,190 of the grants stay in Minnesota.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
