Morgan Family Foundation

How to apply, from its 2024 IRS return

How to ask

Organizations seeking grants should first review the foundation's grant guidelines and process available at www.morganfamilyfdn.org. For social equity funding, there is a two-step process that begins with an online letter of inquiry (LOI), which consists of brief information about the org, the requested grant, and financial information. The foundation then invites some LOIs to provide more details as a full application also submitted online. There is currently not an open application process…

Deadlines

Social equity LOIs due in early January and June. Global warming/end-of-life prog on a rolling basis

Limits on who can apply

Most foundation grants are awarded to 501(c)(3) public charities, and focus on advancing social equity in St. Cloud, mitigating global warming in Minnesota, and addressing end-of-life issues in central Minnesota. The foundation does not make grants to individuals or for lobbying legislation or influencing public elections. The foundation also awards occasional grants to pre-selected public charities in other localities and/or for other purposes.
