Nearly 1 in 3 grants awarded to Minnesota nonprofits come from funders outside the state. The 2026 National Funders Book profiles 100+ of the most compelling national foundations, corporate funders, and specialty grantmakers actively investing in Minnesota, giving you a clear, researched starting point for expanding your grants pipeline beyond state lines.
Inside you'll find a curated mix of funders including small family foundations, corporate funders like Knight, Bank of America, and Boston Scientific, major national foundations like Ford, Gates, Mellon, and Annie E. Casey, and specialty funders like LISC, Shubert, and Wellspring. Each profile includes giving priorities, geographic focus, grant size, and contact information.
