The mission of the Andover Football Association is to provide an educational, safe, and fun environment where every athlete is given an opportunity to participate in team play, is coached to become a better football player, and made to feel like an important and contributing part of the team.
Andover Football Association Inc directs its giving toward youth football, school athletics, and local community programs, with a recent record that includes $106,450 to School District 11 for athletic and other programs and $85,000 to Andover End Zone Club for athletic programs. The foundation’s mission centers on creating an educational, safe, and fun environment where every athlete can participate in team play, improve as a football player, and feel like an important part of the team. That mission shows up in grants tied closely to sports participation and school-based activities. In 2024 and 2025, the foundation also supported civic and community organizations through required contributions and charitable-gambling-related funding. The recent grants list includes support for the City of Andover, the City of Oak Grove, and the City of Ham Lake, alongside larger awards to school and athletics groups. Grant amounts range from five figures to six figures, and the recipients are all in Minnesota. The pattern suggests a local funder that uses both program-restricted support and required contribution funding to back athletics and community life in Andover and nearby communities.
Youth sports and school athletics are the clearest themes in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $106,450 to School District 11 for fund athletic and other programs/scholars, and $85,000 to Andover End Zone Club for athletic programs. A second athletics grant went to School District 11 for $44,900 in 2024, again for fund athletic and other programs. The foundation also supports municipal and civic purposes. It gave $40,744 to the City of Andover as a required contribution, followed by $15,109 and $12,968 to the City of Oak Grove for required contribution support. Civic programming appears as well in a $10,000 grant to the City of Ham Lake for civic programs. These awards show a mix of school-centered athletics and local public-purpose funding.
Typical grants sit in the five-figure range, with a p25 of $12,968, a median of $40,744, and a p75 of $44,900. The recent list also includes larger awards above $65,000, so the foundation can make both mid-sized and high-dollar grants. The grants appear to be local and recurring in the sense that several recipients show up across 2024 and 2025, including School District 11, Andover End Zone Club, the City of Andover, and the City of Oak Grove. The foundation is an operating nonprofit rather than a donor-advised fund, and it accepts unsolicited LPE donation requests through monthly board meetings.
