We make grants to organizations that serve Northside youth as they shape their futures in high school and beyond. We support efforts that provide young people ages 14 to 24 with career relevant learning, mentoring and coaching, and opportunities to develop as leaders and activists.
The Jay & Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota invests in the creative and strategic genius of the North Minneapolis community, with a particular focus on supporting youth as they transition from high school to college and careers.
