Overview

Northside Real Estate Developer Grants

Phillips Foundation to award grants to Black real estate developers in North Minneapolis

The Northside Commercial Real Estate Advisory Committee of the Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota is pleased to announce that it will distribute $100,000 in grants to Black real estate developers in North Minneapolis.

With these grants, the Phillips Foundation aims to alleviate smaller financial burdens that often hinder the success of developers who come from a historically marginalized community and have limited representation in the field of real estate development. Grants will cover pre-development costs for Black real estate developers with site control of North Minneapolis commercial and “missing middle” (5-unit minimum) residential real estate projects.

Funding

The Phillips Foundation plans to award up to $15,000 per grant application based on eligibility and project readiness.
