| Grants will be made only to non-profits which are registered as 501(c)(3) organizations. Grants will not be made to for-profit companies or to individuals. |
| Organizations requesting funding must specifically demonstrate a commitment to economic development. |
| Special preference will be given to organizations that demonstrate a commitment to the creation of jobs. |
| Whenever possible grants will be made to nonprofit organizations for projects that are both specific and measurable, as opposed to funding requests for general operations, buildings or investments. |
| Members of the Grants Committee will perform site visits to the proposed donor organizations before any funds are disbursed. |
| General information and grant application requests for the SPEDCO Economic Development Foundation will be handled exclusively by the St. Paul Foundation. Please contact Sonja Moore at 651-325-4232. |
