Our Partners

The Minga Foundation works with organizations who are routinely denied access to local social, political, and economic support systems, whether due to their organizational size or structure, their location, or language or cultural barriers.
 
In our partnerships, we aim to do two things at once: help build the capacity of our partners to get what they need in the here and now, and support the larger work of disrupting unjust systems and replacing them with new, just ones.
 
Grants are only part of what Minga offers. Our volunteer board members bring deep and wide expertise to the table, sharing knowledge, making connections, and helping to create systems that undergird sustainable, community-driven work.

By directly providing financial, human, and other resources, we reallocate wealth and knowledge in service of health and wellbeing.
