ភស្តុភារផ្តល់ជំនួយ
Our team reviews proposals on a rolling basis, applications can be submitted at any time. Given year-end priorities, grants submitted and reviewed in the fourth quarter may take additional time. We recommend submitting your request by September 1 if funding in the current calendar year is critical.
Within two weeks of receiving your application, Communities staff will be in contact with you regarding next steps. We strive to make a decision and distribute funding within three months of receiving an application.
តើរយៈពេលផ្តល់ជំនួយឥតសំណងមានរយៈពេលប៉ុន្មាន? តើអ្នកធ្វើជំនួយពហុភាគីទេ?
McKnight typically makes grants for one to two years in duration. We work closely with the requesting organization to determine both the grant type (e.g., general operations, project/program) and the grant duration. If you have questions, please contact a សមាជិកបុគ្គលិកកម្មវិធី មុនពេលដាក់ពាក្យស្នើសុំជំនួយរបស់អ្នក។
តើថវិកាផ្តល់ជំនួយរបស់អ្នកគឺជាអ្វី?
The Communities program’s 2023 grantmaking budget is $32 million. Because some of those dollars are already committed to multiyear grantees, we expect to deploy roughly $26 million in new grants in 2023.
4. What types of grants are available—general operating, program grants, others?
The Communities program regularly invites both general operating and program/project grants. If you have a question about grant types, we encourage you to connect with a សមាជិកបុគ្គលិកកម្មវិធី.
5. Will McKnight consider funding research projects or more direct services programs?
McKnight funds a range of activities, from community organizing to research, analysis, and planning. We also fund nonpartisan policy advocacy and implementation. However, we do not fund direct services.
6. Is it necessary to secure matching funding?
We look at an organization’s entire budget and appreciate it when organizations identify diverse sources of support. We do not require matched funding, except in rare cases.
តម្រូវការសិទ្ធិទទួលបាន
For the most part, applicants should be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt, nonprofit organizations to be eligible for a grant. Government entities, including state, county, and municipal, may apply for funding for innovative projects. We generally will not fund activities that are traditionally the sole responsibility of government. Contact Paula who can connect you to a សមាជិកបុគ្គលិកកម្មវិធី ដើម្បីឆ្លើយសំណួរជាក់លាក់បន្ថែមទៀតអំពីស្ថានភាពរបស់អ្នក។
8. If I have a fiscal sponsor, can I apply for a grant?
We do consider requests from fiscally sponsored organizations. If funded, McKnight requires a fiscal sponsorship agreement between the fiscal sponsor and the sponsored project.
ភូមិសាស្ត្រ
The Communities program is committed to working with grantees and partners across Minnesota. We do not have a set funding quota by region of the state. We welcome and encourage proposals from the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro and Greater Minnesota and look forward to building funding relationships and having impact statewide.
10. Can you clarify terminology about funding in Minnesota? Must the organization be based in Minnesota, or can it be outside the state as long as it has programs applicable to Minnesota?

ប្រភេទនៃដៃគូ
The Communities program funds a combination of requests from new partners and from organizations with historic ties to McKnight. We also look to fund a range of organizations and coalitions, both established and emerging.
13. How does McKnight view proposals that are relevant to more than one program at McKnight, such as the overlap between the Communities program and the Midwest Climate & Energy program?

14. Are you exclusively funding Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC)–led organizations?
Though McKnight is committed to increasing its support to BIPOC-led organizations, we continue to fund multicultural, multiracial partners inclusive of all communities who call Minnesota home. Since the launch of the program, approximately 62% of grantees identified as BIPOC-led.
15. How do you define BIPOC organization or BIPOC-led organization?
McKnight currently defines BIPOC-led groups as those for whom at least four of the following are true.

You can apply by going to our របៀបដាក់ពាក្យ page. We invite you to preview the application form (PDF, ពាក្យ).
18. Do I need to talk to a program staff member before I apply?
We recommend that you discuss your application with a សមាជិកបុគ្គលិកកម្មវិធី. Paula can help connect you to a team member. This is not a requirement of funding. It may, however, help you save time on an application.
19. If I am a current grantee: When should I apply for new funding?
ប្រសិនបើអ្នកកំពុងស្នើសុំមូលនិធិក្នុងគោលបំណងដូចគ្នានឹងជំនួយបច្ចុប្បន្នរបស់អ្នកដែរយើងលើកទឹកចិត្តអ្នកឱ្យដាក់ពាក្យនៅពេលជំនួយដែលមានស្រាប់របស់អ្នកត្រូវបានបន្ត។
That said, we want organizations to apply when it makes sense for you. If you want to apply at a different time of the year than you have in the past, please reach out to your program contact.
20. How many times can my organization apply in one year? If we are awarded a grant, can we submit another application for a different period?
To minimize work for your organization and help McKnight manage the numerous requests we receive, an organization should request funds only once per year.

21. Is there a maximum grant request?
There is no maximum request amount. We recommend that you discuss the level of support you are considering with a សមាជិកបុគ្គលិកកម្មវិធី before submitting a grant proposal to save time with an application. This will also help us understand your needs, dreams, and other considerations. After an application is submitted, we may work with you to adjust the amount requested.
22. Can grantees have multiple grants with you at one time?
អ្នកផ្តល់ជំនួយអាចមានជំនួយជាច្រើនក្នុងពេលដំណាលគ្នាទោះបីជាយើងចង់កាត់បន្ថយបន្ទុករដ្ឋបាលទាំងលើម៉ាកខេកនិងបុគ្គលិកបុគ្គលិកដែលមានជំនួយតែមួយដែលផ្តល់ការគាំទ្រប្រតិបត្តិការទូទៅឬផ្តល់មូលនិធិដល់គម្រោងជាច្រើនក្នុងពេលតែមួយ។
