Thanks to Cargill for its generous support of FAFSA completion and other initiatives

Our tremendous thanks to the Cargill Foundation for its generous new support for Achieve Twin Cities and our mission of inspiring and equipping students in Minneapolis and Saint Paul for careers, college and life.

Cargill’s new grants provide significant resources for FAFSA advising and related activities for the students we serve in 27 Minneapolis and Saint Paul public high schools. They also support our new Achieve student advisory board, our organizational diversity, equity and inclusion work, and the creation of a new Minneapolis Public Schools scholarship in honor of Michelle Grogg, a long-time Achieve Twin Cities board member and former executive director of the Cargill Foundation.

The Cargill Foundation is the largest funder for Achieve Twin Cities, providing over $26.8 million in grants since 2000 for both Achieve Twin Cities and Minneapolis Public Schools. We are thankful for this dedicated, long-term partnership, which has been instrumental in ensuring that every student has access to the personalized guidance and resources they need to explore, plan and access high-demand, living-wage careers and financial independence.
