DONATING FOR POSITIVE CHANGE

The Morgan Family Foundation awards most of our grants within three theme areas: advancing social equity in St. Cloud, MN; mitigating global warming in Minnesota; and addressing end of life issues in Minnesota. The largest grants paid in 2025 in each of these themes include Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid for its community legal clinic partnership in St. Cloud; the Citizens Utility Board for consumer advocacy to equitably decarbonize Minnesota utilities; and Vivie for expanding efforts to support end-of-life experiences.
