Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2024
The eden prairie community foundation was created in 1981 to be a vehicle for philanthropy, collaboration, and leadership in eden prairie. We identify new or chronic needs within our diverse community and partner with nonprofits, donors, and community members to meet those needs to help make life better for everyone in eden prairie.epcf has awarded more than $2 million in direct grants to more than 100 different organizations and, when all funds and granting is counted, has generated more than $1 million in philanthropy over the past five years alone.program service accomplishments include assistance to eden prairie residents experiencing food and housing insecurity, violence and abuse, homelessness, and much more.to foster leadership, collaboration, philanthropy, volunteerism, and overall "giving back to the community," the foundation also connects people who wish to volunteer to nonprofits that need them. It partners with the city and schools on a "state of eden prairie" presentation. It helps organize an annual peoplefest event to celebrate eden prairie's growing diversity. And, it gathers monthly with eden prairie's nonprofit leaders to discuss topics of mutual interest. These are just a few of our collaborative efforts to make eden prairie better.
Operating model

- Donor-supported. 91% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 80% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
