Grant to Support Innovative Operations or Programs Initiatives in Minnesota (USA)
GrantID: 20189
Grant Funding Amount Low: $1,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $30,000
Summary
This particular grant is designed to help nonprofit organizations based in one U.S. state use technology in transformative ways. The idea is to support nonprofits (and in this case tribal governments) that are ready to implement a technology solution—not just plan for it—that enhances their operations, program delivery or community impact. The grant funds may be used for projects such as database systems, communication platforms, digital tools that improve outreach or collaboration, or systems that turn operations into strategic enablers.
Organizations applying should serve the state’s residents, culture or environment in meaningful ways. Because the focus is on technology implementation, projects that are purely infrastructure upgrades, routine maintenance or compliance-only systems are typically not eligible. The grant is not open to individuals or to entities outside of the state. It also does not support lobbying, political campaigns, or projects that promote specific religious doctrine.
Grant amounts typically fall in the lower to mid-tens of thousands of dollars. Applications are accepted twice a year, with a Letter of Intent followed by a full proposal if invited. Recipient organizations are expected to have the project ready—with vendor, budget and plan in place—so that funding can support actual rollout rather than initial design only.
The benefit of this grant is that it helps organizations leap ahead by implementing a technology solution they might otherwise struggle to fund. The outcome is better service delivery, greater efficiency, or expanded reach. If you’re a nonprofit or tribal government operating in the state, with a mission-driven project where technology acts as a catalyst, this grant opportunity could be a strong match.
