- Location: Funding is restricted to the 9-county greater Twin Cities area (Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott and western Washington counties).
- Alignment: Programs must be aligned with our organizational priorities of education, housing, food and economic opportunity.
- Impact: Programming must be effective as reflected by evaluation efforts and outcomes.
