Strategy overview
To help achieve our goal, the arts program employs five strategies:
 |
We support individual artists through statewide fellowships, grants administered through Minnesota's 11 regional arts councils, and the annual McKnight Distinguished Artist award. |
|
|
We fund the general operations of artist service organizations that provide income opportunities, space, technical assistance, advocacy, camaraderie, training, and various support services. |
|
|
We provide general operating and project support for small and midsized organizations (operating budgets under $5 million). |
|
|
We provide targeted project support for large organizations (operating budgets over $5 million). |
|
|
We make occasional capital grants for space, equipment, or technology, in support of core strategies or key partners. |
We periodically refine our program guidelines. We encourage you to call the Foundation at 612-333-4220 to discuss your ideas with a program officer and to learn more about the strategies we're pursuing.
