Two prominent Minneapolis foundations are forming what leaders are calling a partnership to boost equity initiatives.
The Minneapolis Foundation announced Thursday a new strategic operating partnership with the Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota, the longstanding north Minneapolis organization that s donated millions of dollars to the city s North Side.
The move, effective at the end of March, means the Phillips Foundation will pay the Minneapolis Foundation to run Phillips administrative services and deliver its grants, said R.T. Rybak, president of the Minneapolis Foundation.

Crown Royal collaborated with the Minnesota Vikings this year to create the That Deserves a Crown awards to be presented to civic organizations who are making positive impacts in the community.
While many organizations have done admirable work in the Twin Cities, the Vikings and Crown Royal are pleased to announce the selection of Northside Funders Group and Lake Street Council as the winners of the awards.
Crown Royal will present $1,000 grants to both organizations to honor their giving spirits.
Here is more information on the organizations that have helped members of the community respond to adversities since their founding and especially in a 2020 filled with challenges.
