Fred C. & Katherine B. Andersen Foundation Grant

The Fred C. & Katherine B. Andersen Foundation Grant focuses on enhancing the quality of life in the St. Croix Valley of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It supports 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations with priorities in healthcare, education, housing, human services, civic initiatives, and environmental education. While capital requests may be considered, the foundation primarily funds operational and programmatic needs. Organizations outside the geographic area may be considered if they align with the foundation's funding priorities.

NOTE: With our considerable ongoing obligations to existing grant partners, we are limited in our ability to fund new organizations’ requests.
Funding Priorities
