We are pleased to share our meeting space with our community partners. Relationship-building and convenings are essential to help us meet our program goals.
All current, active grantees and other partners are welcome to submit requests for meeting space. We can accommodate groups of up to 60 people during our normal business hours (8:30am – 5:00pm). In the summer between Memorial Day and Labor Day, all meetings on Fridays must end by 12:00pm (noon). At this time, we do not have the capacity to allow groups to host events open to the public or media. McKnight is committed to creating an inclusive facility for all people and will do our best to honor any practices and observances that may require accommodation. See details below.
NOTE: McKnight will be moving to a new Minneapolis office location in early 2025. In preparation for the transition, we will no longer be able to host meetings after October 31, 2024. We will be very excited to welcome our community to our new space in late Spring 2025!
