What if every good action inspired more goodness
What if every dollar we gave increased over time?
improving the lives for generations to come
With the Saint Paul and Minnesota Foundations, generosity grows over time
The work that we do with our community and with our partners
touches lives across the entire state of Minnesota.
This is Giving, Amplified.
It all started with our first donor
when Annie left $5,000,
a gift of faith in a future she would not see,
her gift became the seed for what is now
the Saint Paul and Minnesota Foundations.
In fact, those funds continue multiplying and helping Minnesotans today.
More than 75 years after that first gift,
we manage nearly 1.5 billion dollars in assets.
The Saint Paul and Minnesota Foundations have been collaborating
with many organizations right from the start
by providing all-important funding.
We had me and two other volunteers living in my basement,
and over the next six years
we've grown to 70 full-time staff.
They really cared about what we were doing
and provided real infrastructure and support to help us grow in the community.
Most recently,
the Foundations helped us
establish Beaningful,
which is a social enterprise coffee shop
that provides first job opportunities for our participants.
We believe that listening
is critical to the work that we do
as Minnesota's largest community foundation.
Communities are in the best position to articulate their own challenges and opportunities.
We reach across the state
through our donor-advised fund holders
and through our Foundation gifts,
we reached 71 out of 87 counties in the state last year.
Our donors are a part of a dynamic giving community.
If you want to be healthy,
if you want to feel well,
contribute.
When you see your values passed on to others
and then you see that they actually find ways to multiply that effect,
as an adult or a parent or a grandparent,
you can't ask for anything more than that.
We have more than 75 years of history in Minnesota.
We recently reached a historic milestone - more than 1 billion dollars in grants to the community.
The Minnesota giving community continues to humble us.
Aligned with shared priorities,
transforming communities in need and serving future generations
Thank you a billion times over, Minnesota.
