Lee and Vicki Morgan established the Morgan Family Foundation in 2003 as a vehicle for family philanthropy.
The Foundation awards grants for charitable purposes, primarily in Yellow Springs, Ohio and St. Cloud, Minnesota. Foundation giving totaled over $2 million in 2023.
The Morgan Family Foundation seeks a just society in which all individuals have ample opportunities to thrive and where outcomes are not determined by one’s heritage, physical characteristics, beliefs, residence, or inclusion in any particular group.
Community leaders and residents will need to rely on credible data to advance social equity. With this understanding, communities are better equipped to identify and evaluate strategies, policies, and programs to address disparities.
With support from the Morgan Family Foundation, Minnesota Compass, a project of Wilder Research, developed a dashboard report to detail information about inequities and disparities in the St. Cloud area. Social equity is central to the purpose of the Morgan Family Foundation.
Advancing social equity and reducing disparities in the Greater St. Cloud, Minnesota region requires a common understanding among organizations, community leaders, and residents of the disparities that exist. This dashboard offers an in-depth look at key measures that provide insight into the disparities and inequities that exist in the Greater St. Cloud region.
The Morgan Family Foundation has transitioned most of its grantmaking to our “Vision 2020” themes: mitigating global warming in Minnesota; advancing social equity in St. Cloud, MN; and addressing end of life issues, primarily in central Minnesota. The largest grants paid in 2023 in each of these themes supported the Farmers Union Foundation for empowering farmer leadership on climate and working lands; Too Much Talent for programming expansion; and the College of St. Benedict, to prepare nursing students to be more culturally competent leaders in end-of-life care.
