Pagiging Karapat-dapat at Uri ng Suporta
We accept proposals and provide operating and project grants to organizations based in, and working in, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa (other Midwest states remain invite-only). We consider capital grants only in exceptional circumstances. With very few exceptions, applicants must be classified by the Internal Revenue Service as tax-exempt nonprofit organizations to be eligible for a grant.
Government entities may apply for funding for innovative projects. However, we generally will not fund activities that are traditionally the sole responsibility of the government.
Ano ang Hindi namin Pondo
We do not fund the following type of requests:
- Mga Scholarship o iba pang mga uri ng tulong para sa mga indibidwal
- Conferences, including attendance or travel
- Discrete project development, construction, installation, and/or deployment costs (for example, materials, labor, etc.)
- Land purchase
- Mga endowment at capital campaign, maliban sa mga bihirang kaso
- Mga aktibidad na mayroong isang tiyak na layunin sa relihiyon
- Ipinagbabawal ng Lobbying ng Panloob na Code sa Kita (tingnan ang tala sa ibaba)
Isang tala sa pag-aaral sa lobby at pagtatasa ng pampublikong:
The Foundation may consider funding requests for efforts such as advocacy and education to inform the policies and administrative rules of executive, judicial, and administrative agencies; information-sharing that is neutral, nonpartisan, and fully descriptive of both sides of pending legislative issues; and policy research.
Tulad ng hinihiling ng Panloob na Revenue Code, gayunpaman, hindi pipondohan ng Foundation ang mga pagtatangka na maimpluwensyahan ang tukoy na nakabinbin o iminungkahing batas, kasama ang referenda, mga lokal na ordenansa, at resolusyon.

Application at Timeline
McKnight has a one-step application process and accepts proposals on a rolling basis. We aim to make a decision and distribute funding within three months of receiving a full proposal. 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.
