The Minnesota Community IDEAS Program seeks to design, test and spread ideas that make our communities better for everyone and inspire, equip and connect people through meaningful, community-led change.
The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation launched a new annual statewide grant program in 2025. As the Minnesota community grant partner of the Bush Foundation, we will grant $1.6 million each year from 2025 through 2027 to eligible organizations located in and serving Minnesota and the 11 Native Nations within the same geography.
The 2026 grant program will accept interest form submissions from 10 a.m. January 5 to 1 p.m. January 28, 2026.
