By working with Minnesota Community Foundation and The Saint Paul Foundation, you can tap into the resources and expertise of two thriving local foundations that share one direction: To help you make a real difference with your charitable giving.

There's strength in our numbers. Last year we approved $54 million in grants to community organizations.

There's hope in our numbers, in community projects that change lives in your hometown and across the state.

There's opportunity in our numbers, for you to create a lasting legacy with your own fund, or to support a cause you believe in by adding to $57 million in gifts given by donors last year.

As two community foundations, we help donors fulfill their charitable goals and work with communities to identify issues that need attention.

The Saint Paul Foundation is the state's largest community foundation, serving Saint Paul and surrounding areas since 1940. We also work with two client foundations:

F. R. Bigelow Foundation

Mardag Foundation.

Minnesota Community Foundation has been serving the statewide community since 1949.
