What kinds of organizations does Edina Realty Foundation support?

It supports nonprofit organizations serving homeless individuals, children and families, and homelessness prevention efforts. The grant descriptions also point to help with housing and shelter, emergency services, financial assistance, food, and job readiness training.

Does Edina Realty Foundation accept unsolicited applications?

Yes. Both active grant program descriptions say the foundation accepts unsolicited requests for grant support.

What is the typical grant size?

The grant-size distribution is small-to-midsize: p25 is $1,000, median is $1,500, and p75 is $2,950. That suggests many awards are in the low thousands, with some larger grants in the recent record.

Where does the foundation give most often?

Minnesota is the top state by grant count, and 92% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state. Recent recipients are concentrated in places like St. Paul, Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, and Roseville.

Are repeat grants common?

Yes. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including Minnesota Teen Challenge, Spare Key, and Avivo. That pattern suggests the foundation often returns to the same nonprofits over time rather than only making one-off awards.

About Edina Realty Foundation

Edina Realty Foundation gives most of its support to Minnesota nonprofits working on homelessness prevention, housing stability, and emergency help for people facing economic hardship. Its recent grants show a strong emphasis on direct service providers that can respond quickly to urgent needs, from rental and utility assistance to shelter, food, and job readiness. The pattern is consistent across years and across a small set of mission-driven organizations in the Twin Cities and nearby communities. A large 2023 grant of $74,400 went to Minnesota Assistance Council in St. Paul, and the foundation also made a $31,850 grant to Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans in 2024. Those awards fit alongside recurring support for organizations that serve people experiencing homelessness, children and families, and individuals moving through recovery or stabilization services. Avivo in Minneapolis received $50,000 in 2025 and another $23,000 that same year, while Spare Key in Minneapolis received multiple grants in 2024 and 2025. The grant record shows a funder focused on targeted, needs-based assistance rather than broad program portfolios.

What Edina Realty Foundation Funds

Housing and homelessness prevention are central to the foundation’s giving. It awarded $10,000 to Simpson Housing Services Inc in Minneapolis in 2023 and $8,850 to The Dwelling Place in Columbia Heights the same year, both tied to assistance for disadvantaged people. Food security also appears repeatedly in the record. Second Harvest Heartland in Brooklyn Park received $30,900 in 2024 and $11,000 in 2023, while The Sheridan Story Every Meal in Roseville received $10,500 in 2024. The foundation also backs recovery and re-entry services. Minnesota Teen Challenge in Minneapolis received $16,000 in 2023, $9,000 in 2024, and $8,250 in 2025, indicating continued support across multiple years for addiction recovery-related work. Veteran-focused support is another visible line of giving, with Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans in St. Paul receiving a $31,850 grant in 2024.

How Edina Realty Foundation Gives

Typical grants are modest: the p25 grant size is $1,000, the median is $1,500, and the p75 is $2,950. The recent-grants list also shows occasional larger awards, but the overall pattern is a wide spread with many small operating or program-support grants. Recipients appear in multiple years, which points to repeat support rather than one-time gifts only. The foundation makes grants through a general grantmaking program and accepts unsolicited requests. Its structure is straightforward grantmaking; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
