Minnesota Power Foundation Grant Program

The Minnesota Power Foundation Grant Program provides support to organizations focused on enhancing community health and vitality in service areas. Grants over $5,000 are reviewed quarterly by the Foundation's board. Eligible recipients include tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) and accredited schools, which must operate within the Foundation's designated service area.

Grants from the Minnesota Power Foundation support organizations that focus on improving the health and vitality of communities in our service areas. Through the Foundation board of directors and regional advisory committees, our employees help review grant proposals, assign priorities and decide how the dollars we have available will be invested in the region.
