Supporting community-led response efforts in Minneapolis
Standing with Minneapolis
Community foundations across the country have a shared commitment: to stand with their communities when challenges arise, guided by trust, care, and collective generosity.
In response to the ICE surge in Minneapolis, our sister community foundation, the Minneapolis Foundation, has announced emergency support through its OneMPLS Fund. Collective giving through this fund supports area nonprofits meeting immediate community needs such as food, housing support, and emergency assistance to families and individuals navigating sudden disruption and uncertainty.
Collective giving can help communities respond with compassion and resilience when it is needed most. We encourage those who are interested in supporting this effort to learn more about and donate to the OneMPLS Fund today.
