Grants for Nonprofits in Minnesota

Minnesota's Office of Grants Management runs a single entry point to state grant opportunities, but it is a directory: it sorts grant-making agencies by topic and sends applicants to each agency's own site, and it warns that some opportunities are open only to certain organizations, such as units of government.

GrantCue reads the competitive grants of the Department of Employment and Economic Development, the open grant requests of the Department of Human Services, the Minnesota Humanities Center, Minneapolis, Hennepin County and St. Louis County, and community foundations including the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation. Smaller arts grants also come from regional arts councils, each serving a set group of counties.
