At Constellation, we make every decision with one question in mind: what will have the greatest impact for those living in poverty in the Twin Cities? We center our work accordingly by seeking to create the largest possible poverty-fighting impacts.
This begins by raising philanthropic resources from a growing community of generous donors; since our Board of Directors covers all our operating costs, every dollar donated to Constellation is invested within twelve months into the poverty-fighting organizations in our portfolio of nonprofit grantees. To build this portfolio, Constellation relies on evidence from the community about what is working best. Our grantee partners receive significant financial investments as well as access to unparalleled pro bono capacity-building support to further bolster the impact of their powerful work and our donors’ generous donations.
The process continually repeats itself, all designed to objectively identify and holistically empower our community’s top poverty-fighting service providers.
