    About Shavlik Family Charitable Trust

    The Shavlik Family Charitable Trust appears to concentrate its giving on public library services, demonstrated by a single sizable grant for technology support to the St. Paul Public Library. The foundation gives locally within the Twin Cities area and prioritizes improving library infrastructure and digital access. Its giving is targeted and programmatic rather than broadly distributed across causes.

    About Shavlik Family Charitable Trust

    Shavlik Family Charitable Trust’s recent giving is defined by technology implementation grants to Minnesota nonprofits and Tribal governments, with a clear emphasis on projects that improve operations, program delivery, collaboration, communication, and service delivery. The trust gives locally and its recipients are all in Minnesota, which makes the pattern unusually concentrated. Recent awards show a consistent $30,000 level for many technology grants, alongside a $60,000 grant to Friends of the St Paul Public Library for technology support. That library grant fits the trust’s broader interest in digital infrastructure and public access: the foundation appears to favor practical technology upgrades over general operating support. Other recipients include Metro State University Foundation and The Great Northern, indicating that the trust funds both civic and educational organizations as well as arts and community-serving groups. Across the grant list, the common thread is implementation of technology that changes how organizations deliver services rather than planning-stage work.

    What Shavlik Family Charitable Trust Funds

    Public library technology is one of the clearest themes in the trust’s grantmaking. Friends of the St Paul Public Library received $60,000 for a technology grant, tying the funder to library infrastructure and digital access. The same technology orientation also reaches higher education and community organizations: Metro State University Foundation received $30,000 for a technology grant, and The Great Northern received $30,000 for the same purpose. The foundation also supports service-oriented nonprofits using technology to improve delivery and operations. Woodland Centers received $30,000, while The Guild received $30,000, both through technology grants. The pattern suggests a preference for implementation work that strengthens mission delivery rather than broad unrestricted support.

    How Shavlik Family Charitable Trust Gives

    Typical awards cluster tightly around the middle of the range: p25 is $12,000, median grant size is $20,312, and p75 is $26,500. The recent grant list also shows a recurring $30,000 ceiling for many awards, with one larger outlier at $60,000. The trust is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its grantmaking is repeatable across years: recipients such as Monarch Joint Venture and several Minnesota organizations appear in more than one year, indicating ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The active grant programs accept unsolicited applications and use an LOI-then-full-proposal process in at least one program.
