Minnesota Racial Equity Fund Grant

The Minnesota Racial Equity Fund Grant aims to foster lasting change by supporting organizations in the Twin Cities that address historic systemic racism affecting communities of color. Grants typically range from $5,000 to $10,000, focusing on employment, education, and community safety. Only tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are eligible. This initiative is part of H.B. Fuller Company Foundation's commitment to racial equity and community empowerment.

To help support lasting change, the Racial Equity Fund will support organizations in the Twin Cities area that are working to address historic, systemic racism and its impact on communities of color. Specifically, grants will be awarded to programs that are focused on addressing racial inequities in the areas of employment, education and community safety.
The H.B. Fuller Company Foundation conducts one grant cycle per year in support of Racial Equity programming that addresses employment, education, and community safety in the communities surrounding our St. Paul, Minnesota headquarters.
