Supporting Technology Innovation
to Advance Minnesota Nonprofits’ Missions
Our Grant Process
We provide grants to Minnesota-based nonprofits and Tribal governments with the goal of innovating programs and operations. Tell us how your organization can leverage technology to get to the next level.
What We’ve Funded
We continue to be excited by the ideas nonprofits have for how they can leverage technology as a tool to further their missions. Explore a selection of projects we have supported.
Step 1: LOI
The Shavlik Family Foundation runs a two-step grantmaking process, twice per year. Organizations are encouraged to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) once they have completed the discovery and planning phases of their project, and they are ready to implement their chosen solution with funding support.
May 1st and November 1st
Online Grant System Opens: LOI
All proposals must be submitted through our online grant portal, Submittable. Your LOI will then be reviewed and we will inform you of our decision. If selected, the next step will be to submit a Full Application in Submittable. For more information, visit our Grant Timeline & Resources page.
