The 3M Foundation, based in St. Paul, MN, provides large, place-based philanthropic support by making substantial unrestricted grants to local community foundations. Their giving appears focused on enabling regional grantmaking and flexible funding for a broad set of civic and nonprofit needs across Minnesota rather than directly funding specific programs or issue areas.
Highly concentrated: a single very large grant directed to a local community foundation for general funds (unrestricted). This suggests strategic, place-based giving through intermediary organizations rather than many small, direct grants to individual nonprofits.
