About Minot Community Foundation

A standout feature of Minot Community Foundation’s recent giving is the size of its support for local institutions: Trinity Health Foundation received $284,000 in 2023, the largest grant in the recent list. That single award sits alongside a broad pattern of support for organizations that serve Minot-area residents, including Domestic Violence Crisis Center Inc, Minot Public School District #1 Jim Hill Middle School, and Minot Public Library. The foundation’s grantmaking aligns with its stated purpose of enriching quality of life through philanthropy, community cooperation, and resources for Minot-area charitable organizations. Its recent awards show a strong mix of community services, education, health, and civic life. Grants went to organizations such as Independence Inc, Souris Valley United Way, Minot State University, Roosevelt Park Zoo, and Minot Vocational Adjustment Workshop. The foundation also supports churches and community-based institutions, with awards to Immanuel Baptist Church, Our Lady of Grace Church, and Bread of Life Lutheran Church. Many grants are described as helping recipients carry out their tax-exempt mission, which suggests a flexible approach that can support general organizational needs as well as specific community work.
