Many nonprofit organizations struggle to finance their day-to-day operations, let alone invest in long-term planning and management consultants. The Management Improvement Fund helps organizations strengthen their internal operations and, ultimately, the communities they serve.

The Fund supports initiatives like writing strategic plans, recruiting and training high-quality board members, assessing programs and developing collaborations with other groups. As a result, grant recipients have bolstered fundraising, expanded important programs and improved service to the community.

Nonprofits that primarily serve residents of Dakota, Ramsey and Washington counties are eligible. An initiative of The Saint Paul Foundation with major leadership and funding support from the F. R. Bigelow Foundation, the Fund provides for the survival and continued success of these essential organizations.
