Supporting Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota

UNCF Minneapolis/St. Paul

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.”® Why not invest your time or money in better futures for young people in Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and around the country?

UNCF Minneapolis is here to help you send a student to college and turn his or her life around. The UNCF Minneapolis –St. Paul Office prides itself on bringing together community,  and business and community leaders to collaborate and address not only the importance of economic development but difficult issues like lack of workforce diversity, wide income disparities, and unequal education levels and opportunities primarily between African Americans and Whites, during events like the annual MLK Breakfast and our UNCF State of Minnesota Leaders’ Luncheon on Education.
