Three ways to make a difference today!

Life changing programs like those described in the Catalyst are made possible in part by support from individuals, families, and corporations through their Donor Advised Funds. They also rely on support from the Community Endowment we steward, created over generations by Minnesotans like you.

It ’s easier than ever to contribute to the causes you care about. You can define a bequest, make a direct gift, or establish a Donor Advised Fund on-line.
