Since 1941, the Andersen Corporate Foundation has contributed over $70 million to support worthy causes.
The Science Museum of Minnesota, located in St. Paul, is just one of 64 nonprofit organizations we have committed to supporting.

The Andersen Corporate Foundation is thrilled to reveal the recipients of its fall 2024 grant round. This season, the Foundation has committed over $1.2 million to 64 nonprofit organizations in the second of its two (2) annual grant rounds. Living up to our promise that everyone benefits from their association with Andersen, the Foundation continues to support impactful initiatives.

As part of this $1.2 million, the Andersen Corporate Foundation has approved $600,000 in capital grants to three organizations, including:

  • The Science Museum of Minnesota will receive $400,000 over multiple years in support of a transformative capital campaign, which includes new galleries, interactive exhibits, a Center for Equity Systems Change, and a Workforce Innovation Lab.
  • Second Harvest Heartland will receive $125,000 to support the Make Hunger History initiative, focusing on addressing current food needs, reimagining emergency relief, and improving food security and equity.
  • Neighborhood House is granted $75,000 for the Hope in Action campaign, which will fund the renovation and expansion of programs at the Wellstone Center and a new satellite facility. 
“We are humbled to support over 60 organizations in our fall grant round, including the Science Museum of Minnesota, Second Harvest Heartland, and Neighborhood House. These organizations are pillars of our community and champions for change, doing the hard work to address some of our society’s most pressing needs in the areas of education, housing, and basic needs.”
