When a state is lauded for being the most charitable while also having some of the worst inequities in the country, something clearly isn’t adding up. In the Twin Cities, one in five residents live in poverty. At the Constellation Fund, we don’t like that math.
On December 1st, 2020, we hosted our first-ever Impact Forum to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the metrics and evidence-driven evaluations that guide Constellation's investments, and to hear from two organizational leaders whose poverty-fighting programs are strengthening our community.
With our partners, donors, and grantees, Constellation works to shift the philanthropic mindset from feel-good charity to impactful investment by using the best available evidence and community insights to identify and invest in poverty-fighting programs that deliver the highest impact. Why? Because we believe that smart philanthropy is kind philanthropy.
