The 10-25 Tomorrow Foundation concentrates its giving on arts and environmental causes while also supporting neighborhood-level community development in Minneapolis. It makes relatively few, sizable grants — notably repeated large gifts to a single performing arts venue — alongside substantial support for marine conservation and local neighborhood organizing. The foundation appears to balance a strong local arts commitment with interest in environmental advocacy and community impact.
The clearest pattern in 10-25 Tomorrow Foundation’s giving is its repeated support for Firehouse Performing Arts Center in Minneapolis, with three recent grants totaling $190,000 across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That relationship sits alongside a larger grant to Oceanic Preservation Society for marine and ocean conservation advocacy, showing a portfolio that combines place-based arts support with environmental advocacy. The foundation also backs neighborhood-level work in the Minneapolis area, including East Phillips Neighborhood Institute, which points to an interest in community organizing and local environmental justice. Recent grants are relatively few and substantial, rather than widely spread across many recipients. The largest recent award in the data went to Oceanic Preservation Society, while the Minneapolis arts venue received two additional sizable grants after an earlier award. Together, the recent record shows a funder that concentrates on a small set of organizations and sustains them over time through repeat grants.
Arts infrastructure is a major thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it gave $90,000 to Firehouse Performing Arts Center for general support, following a $55,000 grant in 2024 and a $45,000 grant in 2023. The pattern suggests ongoing support for a specific venue rather than one-off project funding. Environmental advocacy is another clear area: in 2024, the foundation granted $105,000 to Oceanic Preservation Society for general support, linking its portfolio to marine and ocean conservation. Locally, it also supported neighborhood organizing and environmental justice through a $50,000 grant to East Phillips Neighborhood Institute in 2024. Across these areas, the foundation appears to favor targeted grants to organizations working on infrastructure, advocacy, and community-level change.
The grant-size pattern is concentrated at the upper end of the foundation’s range: the 25th percentile is $45,000, the median is $50,000, and the 75th percentile is $55,000. That distribution fits the recent record of relatively few, sizable awards, with one larger outlier at $105,000. The data also show relationship-based funding: Firehouse Performing Arts Center received grants in three consecutive years, while the other named recipients appear once in the recent-grants list. The foundation is not structured as an individual-giving vehicle and does not make program-related investments. Its giving is local, with most grants landing in Minnesota.
