Eligible Projects
-
Projects should show a clear impact or transformation for an organization’s operations or capacity to meet its mission with measurable benefits greater than the cost. Technology investments have limited shelf lives so the Foundation prefers projects that can amplify results and allow the organization to be ready for what comes next.
-
Maintenance of systems or routine upgrades in technology already deployed will not be considered. This includes system changes to create compliance with regulations like HIPAA, ADA, Payment (PCI) regulations, etc.
Eligibility Criteria
-
Nonprofits and Tribal Governments Serving Minnesota
-
The award grants to Minnesota-based charitable, nonprofit organizations that are recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) public charities or Tribal governments for any type of technology project that will improve how they meet their mission. The organization must be working to improve the lives, culture, or environment of Minnesota. They require that both a fiscal sponsor and the applicant are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations or Tribal governments.
-
Limitations of Funding
-
Generally, the Foundation will not provide multi-year grants, make grants to individuals or for the benefit of pre-selected individuals, provide funds to lobby legislation or influence public elections, promote any religious doctrine, or provide funding for services outside of the state of Minnesota.
-
Implementations of products that use technology to maintain building operations, such as smart technology to enhance building maintenance or security, unless mission-related, will not be considered so they can focus on technology that drives programming.
