Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation is a Minnesota-based philanthropic fundraising organization and community foundation with roots dating to 1940 in Saint Paul. It is described as the state's largest community foundation and serves thousands of donors, professional advisors, nonprofits, and community organizations. The foundation supports more than 2,000 charitable organizations and donor funds and manages about $1.8 billion in assets, including those from the F. R. Bigelow Foundation and the Mardag Foundation. Its work is guided by three strategic goals: inspiring generosity, advocating for equity, and investing in community-led solutions. The foundation brings together donors, nonprofits, and community members to address Minnesota's most pressing issues, with partners positioned as change agents and investments aimed at lasting impact. In July 2025, Chanda Smith Baker was named president and CEO.
