Mission

We stand alongside changemakers in our region of eight states and 76 Native nations and fund work that leads to racial, social, and economic justice. The eight states include Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.

Guiding Values

All staff are expected to carry out the mission of the Foundation in a way that upholds and demonstrates our Guiding Values:

Our Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

We walk alongside the changemakers we support by practicing justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) in our work. Central to our mission is the concept of justice—which means we support change that repairs centuries of harm to our priority communities—Native Americans, communities of color, immigrants, refugees, and people in rural areas—so that they can thrive on their own terms.

To do so, we’re committed to deepening our understanding of the values and lived experience of the changemakers we support through the practice of JEDI. We think of this practice as a journey to walk alongside changemakers by changing ourselves and helping drive change in the world.
