Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Minnesota Grassroots Organizing Grants
The Foundation's national grassroots organizing program prioritizes outcomes that drive broad systems change through community organizing campaigns and movement-building efforts in Minnesota. When evaluating proposals, the funder looks for projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's unique challenges and opportunities. The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development is one state agency that often partners with grassroots organizations to support economic development initiatives.
Minnesota's distinct geography, with its mix of urban centers and rural areas, including frontier counties along the Canadian border, presents both challenges and opportunities for grassroots organizing. The state's strong tradition of community activism and civic engagement provides a fertile ground for building movements and driving systems change. For instance, organizations focusing on issues related to the Minnesota housing crisis can leverage the state's resources, such as the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, to create impactful change.
Key Outcomes for Grassroots Organizing in Minnesota
The Foundation is particularly interested in supporting projects that achieve the following priority outcomes:
-
Building Power among Marginalized Communities: Grassroots organizations that successfully mobilize and empower Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities, and other historically marginalized groups, are likely to be funded. This involves creating inclusive, equitable organizing strategies that address the specific needs and concerns of these communities.
-
Driving Policy Change: Proposals that demonstrate a clear path to policy change at the local or state level will be considered favorably. This could involve campaigns to reform state policies or local ordinances that impact issues such as affordable housing, economic justice, or environmental justice. For example, organizations working on women's small business development can access resources like the Minnesota grants for women's small business to support their initiatives.
-
Fostering Community-Led Solutions: The Foundation prioritizes projects that are led by and centered in the community, ensuring that solutions are tailored to the specific needs and contexts of Minnesota's diverse communities. This includes supporting small business grants for women in Minnesota who are driving economic development in their local communities.
To be competitive, applicants must demonstrate a deep understanding of Minnesota's context and a clear vision for how their project will achieve these priority outcomes. This includes being aware of the state's existing resources, such as state of Minnesota grants and mn housing grants, and how to leverage them effectively.
Measuring Success in Minnesota
The Foundation will assess the success of funded projects based on their ability to achieve the priority outcomes outlined above. This will involve tracking progress against specific metrics, such as the number of people mobilized, policy changes achieved, and the impact on marginalized communities. Applicants should be prepared to articulate their own metrics for success and how they will measure progress over time.
In Minnesota, organizations can access various resources to support their grassroots organizing efforts. For instance, the Minnesota Historical Society offers grants that can support community-led projects that preserve and promote the state's history and cultural heritage.
