Celebrating 60 Years of Grantmaking

Reaching out to our community

The F. R. Bigelow Foundation was established in 1946 as a trust to promote the well-being of mankind and to support the civic, educational, religious and other needs of the community in the years to come. It has funded programs and helped shape initiatives that are strengthening neighborhoods and downtown Saint Paul, and enhancing the quality of life in the Saint Paul area.
