Application overview

In 2010 McKnight adopted a new online grant application system. Get started in three easy steps:

  1. Confirm your work fits our guidelines.
  2. Review the application instructions.
  3. When ready, start a new application.


Strategy overview

To help achieve our goal, we concentrate on making grants and pursuing related activities that:

Manage regional growth to minimize sprawl and
maximize opportunities

Create viable neighborhoods for people, businesses,
and communities to thrive

Increase family stability through affordable housing

Preserve, protect, and restore open spaces

Increase alternative transportation options

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.
