ብቁነት እና የድጋፍ ዓይነቶች

We accept proposals and provide operating and project grants to organizations based in, and working in, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa (other Midwest states remain invite-only). We consider capital grants only in exceptional circumstances. With very few exceptions, applicants must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt nonprofit organizations to be eligible for a grant.

Government entities may apply for funding for innovative projects. However, we generally will not fund activities that are traditionally the sole responsibility of the government.

እኛ የማንደግፋቸው ነገሮች

We do not fund the following type of requests:

• Scholarships or other types of assistance for individuals
• Conferences, including attendance or travel
• Discrete project development, construction, installation, and/or deployment costs (for example, materials, labor, etc.)
• Land purchase
• Endowments and capital campaigns, except in rare cases
• Activities that have a specific religious purpose
• Lobbying prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code (see note below)

The Foundation may consider funding requests for efforts such as advocacy and education to inform the policies and administrative rules of executive, judicial, and administrative agencies; information-sharing that is neutral, nonpartisan, and fully descriptive of both sides of pending legislative issues; and policy research.

Application & Timeline

McKnight has a one-step application process and accepts proposals on a rolling basis. We aim to make a decision and distribute funding within three months of receiving a full proposal. Given year-end priorities, grants submitted and reviewed in the fourth quarter may take additional time. We recommend submitting your request by September 1 if funding in the current calendar year is critical.
