The Nash Foundation considers requests only from 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations. Our grant making is generally limited to organizations in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul. We also make a limited number of grants in communities that are of historic interest to The Foundation, but do not accept unsolicited proposals from these areas. The Nash Foundation primarily funds organizations whose operating budgets are under $5 million. We're interested in the arts, the environment, youth, and programs and organizations with a focus on women in crisis.
