The foundation is narrowly focused on supporting Scouting in the Twin Cities / Minnesota area, directing nearly all of its resources to the Northern Star Council of the Boy Scouts. Its grants are large and programmatic, intended to finance Scouting operations, activities, and likely camp/program support rather than a broad portfolio of causes. The foundation appears to be a dedicated private supporter of local youth outdoor leadership through Scouting.
Highly concentrated: almost all funding goes to a single repeat grantee (Northern Star Council) via two large grants totaling nearly $2M; shows preference for big, targeted gifts to a core local beneficiary rather than diversified or small grants.
