Funding Information
The Shavlik Family Foundation considers technology requests from $1,000 to $30,000 to support innovative operations or program initiatives.
Criteria
- Nonprofits and Tribal Governments Serving Minnesota
- Foundation awards grants to Minnesota based charitable, non profit 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.
- Organizations Who Have Done the Work
- Projects should show a clear relationship to an organization’s strategic planning and mission. Vendor/solution vetting, budgeting, and project plans of the technology proposal must be done prior to the involvement. The focus is on funding the implementation of the technology versus the planning stage.
- Impactful Projects that Serve the Organization or Community
- 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 they want to see 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.
- 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 any specific religious organizations, or provide funding for services outside of the state of Minnesota.
- Implementations of products that use technology to maintain building operations, such as security cameras or other smart technology to enhance building maintenance will no longer be considered so they can focus on technology that drives programming and mission.
