GRANTS: OVERVIEW

The St. Louis Park Community Foundation, now in its seventh year, has awarded over $350,000 in grants to incredible programs throughout the community of St. Louis Park. Major awards are made once a year. On November 18 at the Westwood Hills Nature Center, the SLPCF awarded $50,000 in grants to important not-for-profit community organizations that serve St. Louis Park and support the strategic priorities of the Foundation.

SLPCF has also collaborated with the City of St. Louis Park and the St. Louis Park Friends of the Arts to provide funds to the city’s Arts and Culture Grant Program. The program funds art projects and cultural activities that build bridges between artists and communities, engage people in creative learning, and promote artistic production and cultural experiences in the Park.
