Overview
Mission
Summary for 2024: Promote social welfare via grant to 501(c)(3) neighborhood organization. Details: From Jan. 1, 2022 through Dec. 31, 2023, the primary exempt purpose of Minneapolis Safety Initiative (MSI) was to promote social welfare by paying for Minneapolis Police Department officers who would otherwise have been off-duty to perform police patrols in Lowry Hill neighborhood of Minneapolis. Patrols occurred under contract between MSI and City of Minneapolis. That contract ended on Dec. 31, 2023. In January 2024, MSI asked each donor whether they wanted a refund of a share of funds remaining or for MSI to contribute those funds to the Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association (LHNA) (a 501(c)(3) entity) for the restricted purpose of public safety initiatives in the Lowry Hill neighborhood of Minneapolis. In the course of 2024, to promote social welfare, MSI granted $7,233 to the LHNA for the restricted purpose of public safety initiatives in Lowry Hill.
