Building community impact in Minnesota

Written by Catchafire | Feb 29, 2024 10:03:47 PM

Each year, the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation makes over 8,500 grants to nonprofits across the state, investing in equitable and community-led solutions.


Our partnership

Five years ago, The St. Paul & Minnesota Foundation developed a partnership with Catchafire as a way to scale their existing capacity program and provide resources beyond the grant for nonprofits across the state.

By partnering with Catchafire, the Foundation offered a way for Minnesota nonprofits to gain capacity building support and resources year-round, at no cost to them.

Our approach

Catchafire’s resources go beyond providing volunteers and project support; we also offer coaching, monthly trainings, and leadership development for nonprofit leaders. Two of the Foundation’s grantees are in our executive director support group, where nonprofit leadership meets biweekly to connect and network. During sessions, attendees build a space where they can share learnings, strengths, and challenges, leading to peer to peer learning and collaboration.
