Election year is in full swing, and democracy and civic engagement are on the minds of many. 🗳️ We know that a healthy and thriving democracy depends on engaged residents, during an election year and beyond. That's why the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation is proud to have recently granted $500,000 to nonpartisan organizations leading the charge on voter turnout and civic engagement across the state. Some of the nonprofits we funded include Minnesota Voice, Reviving the Islamic Sisterhood for Empowerment (RISE), Asian American Organizing Project and Conservation Minnesota among others. See the full list of grantee organizations and learn how the Foundation and our donors are investing in democracy ➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q02Mn9zG0 #CivicEngagement #democracy #grantmaking #philanthropy

We are saddened to learn about the recent passing of former Saint Paul mayor George Latimer. Over the years, Mayor Latimer was a friend to the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, who shared a passion for revitalizing our community. Notably, George was key in working with us to create the Community Reinvestment Fund, a loan program helping alleviate prohibitive costs to nonprofits. The fund continues to play a crucial role in our concessionary lending work to this day. “George was dedicated to his family, this community and our entire state,” said Foundation President & CEO Eric J. Jolly, Ph.D. “He was a bold thinker and a powerful change agent who never lost a sense of ‘can do’ optimism for every challenge we would discuss. I remember him most by his smile, and sense of joy.”
