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.
