About grants in Minnesota

Minnesota has one of the most distinctive funding landscapes in the country, anchored by the constitutionally dedicated Legacy Amendment that funds arts, culture, and the environment. The Minnesota State Arts Board, Department of Employment and Economic Development, and an exceptionally strong foundation sector make Minnesota a leader in per-capita grant funding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Key Minnesota agencies include the State Arts Board, the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED), the Department of Education, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and the Pollution Control Agency. The Legacy Amendment's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund channels dedicated sales-tax revenue into arts, history, and environmental grants statewide.

What foundations serve Minnesota?

Minnesota hosts a remarkable concentration of large foundations, including the McKnight Foundation, the Bush Foundation, the Otto Bremer Trust, the Minneapolis Foundation, the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, and the Blandin Foundation, which focuses on rural communities. The Northwest Area Foundation and Pohlad Family Foundation are also major regional funders.
