Social Justice Grant Award from Minnesota Vikings
The Link is honored to be a recipient of a 2021 Social Justice Initiatives Grant through the Minnesota Vikings Social Justice Committee. We are incredibly grateful for this generous support!
Bezos Day 1 Families Fund Award
We are excited to share a message from our CEO, Beth Holger-
“The Link is honored and thrilled to be a recipient of a $2.5 Million Bezos Day 1 Families Fund grant! The contribution to our organization and community will have a measurable impact by helping us transition many more young families in Minneapolis out of homelessness and into stable housing. It will also help break the cycle of homelessness for these families and their children — preventing homelessness from becoming generational.”
This one-time grant will allow The Link to sustain and expand its housing and support services for young families experiencing homelessness. The Link will focus on culturally specific and youth-driven programming for young Black families, who are disproportionately impacted by homelessness.
