Donations

Community donations ensure Community Action of Minneapolis’ ability to provide life-changing programs for low-income people. Much of our funding comes from government grants (federal and state) and foundation/corporate grants, but we also rely heavily on individual donations to support and sustain our work. All donations are 100% tax deductible (except where indicated in special cases).
