Mount Sinai Community Foundation’s (MSCF) Giving Circle

February 21, 2025

The MSCF Giving Circle offers members a collaborative approach to philanthropy, pooling financial contributions to support innovative local initiatives that enhance health, well-being, and medical care in the Twin Cities community. Each year, MSCF invites nonprofits to submit grant proposals, with voting members convening to allocate funding to up to eight organizations, awarding grants of up to $10,000 each. To date, the MSCF Giving Circle has provided over $1 million to Minnesota organizations.

MSCF offers the following types of membership:

  • Teen Giving Circle Member ($36 minimum annual dues): Teen members pool their donations and participate in MSCF’s annual grant process that takes place every spring. They attend the meeting and then convene separately with a facilitator to discuss and vote as a group to determine how they will allocate their funds.
  • Friend of MSCF ($100 minimum per year): Friends of MSCF will stay up-to-date on MSCF activities, but do not participate in the annual grant process or serve on committees.
  • Voting Membership ($200 annual dues): Voting members participate in the annual grant selection process that takes place every spring. They may also choose to serve on a committee.
  • Lifetime Membership (one-time minimum gift of $5,000): Lifetime members participate in the MSCF grant process that takes place every spring and may also choose to serve on a committee.

Join today and mark your calendar for May 13, 2025. Event start time may change.
