Program Overview


A collaborative effort by the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, F. R. Bigelow Foundation and Mardag Foundation, the Our Home State Grant Program seeks to increase access to housing across Minnesota. 

The grants support organizations and programs that provide pathways to affordable, quality housing and/or address homelessness. 

Through five-year grants of up to $100,000 per year, we aim to fund systems change and/or direct service work to eliminate barriers and increase access to housing opportunities. 

More information on this grant program will be available in summer 2026 and applications accepted by late 2026.
