About Paddock Foundation
Paddock Foundation’s recent giving is defined by repeated general-support grants to a small circle of institutional partners in Minnesota. The largest awards in the file are $100,000 grants, including support for Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine, the University of Mn Pharmacy, YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities, and Withall. That pattern points to a funder that backs operating capacity as much as specific projects, especially in health care, biomedical research, and community well-being.
Across the grant list, the foundation returns to the same organizations over multiple years. Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; the University of Mn Pharmacy receives support in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Withall also receives repeated grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The recurring structure suggests long-term institutional partnerships rather than one-time project funding.
Its portfolio also includes Minnesota-based human services and disability-focused organizations such as North Memorial Foundation, Ms Society Minnesota, ALS Minnesota, Prism, and Make a Wish Minnesota, showing a mix of research, health, recreation, and local support.
What Paddock Foundation Funds
In biomedical research, Paddock Foundation gave $100,000 to Mayo Clinic Center for Regenerative Medicine in 2025 for general support, and the center also appears in prior years. Pharmacy education and translational research are another clear thread: the foundation granted $100,000 to University of Mn Pharmacy in 2025, after earlier grants in 2023 and 2024.
Community health and recreation show up through YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities, which received $100,000 in 2025 and also appears in 2023 and 2024. In local human services and inclusion-focused work, Withall received $100,000 in 2025 and additional support in earlier years.
The grant list also includes disability and serious-illness related organizations such as ALS Minnesota, Ms Society Minnesota, and North Memorial Foundation, indicating that the foundation supports a broad set of health-related community needs.
