More than 10 years ago, The Saint Paul Foundation created a strategic grantmaking plan with input from community members. Creating an anti-racist community was the very first goal. Ambitious? Yes. Essential? Absolutely.

We’re on the brink of launching our next strategic plan and in it we renew our commitment to combating racism and racial disparities.

We are aligning our work with our sister foundation, Minnesota Community Foundation, to achieve greater impact in our community and across the state.

How we do our work is as important as what we do. In the spirit of working together, on the issue of racism and many others, we know we can’t do this alone. We are privileged to advance this work in partnership with many others in our community.

We share their stories here and hope that they inspire you to take action of your own. Read more in our spring issue of Enrichments (PDF).

Past issues of Enrichments can be found in DownloadsEnrichments is the Foundation newsletter published quarterly.
