Can you believe this is our last newsletter of 2025? This year has flown by and I am grateful for every minute of it. As my team and I reflect on the past 12 months, we have a lot to celebrate:

  • Spreading the good news about The McKnight Foundation’s new headquarters, and the successful earned media campaign we crafted to amplify the announcement.

  • On-boarding several new clients whose mission and vision align with our own, while also uplifting past and current client wins: GreenLight Fund Twin Cities, Project for Pride in Living, The Partnership, and Teach for America Twin Cities.

  • The second annual Momentum Summit, which helps leaders navigate change, become more resilient, and stay connected.

  • Celebrating the work of our client, Minnesota Business Coalition for Racial Equity as they sunset and fund the Black Collective Foundation.


I continue to be energized by the time I spend serving on the nonprofit boards of organizations I care about. I’m happy to share that I was re-elected to the Minnesota PRSA Board as director at large, and was asked to continue as vice chair for the Jeremiah Program National Governing Board. I’m excited to head to Boston to participate in the 2026 Summit; 2025’s Spark Tank was one of the highlights of my year.

As you close out 2025, spend some time reflecting on the meaningful moments, big and small, that happened throughout this year. I’m sure you’ll be amazed at what you’ve accomplished.


Wishing you a safe, restful, and joyous holiday season. See you in 2026!

Last month, we shared our commitment to serving our community hosting our clients at our table at the Jeremiah Program Minneapolis-St.Paul Bash along with our media relations partner, Marsha Pitts Phillips, APR. It was a fun and festive evening – a great kick off to the holiday season.

Client Wins


Congratulations to GreenLight Fund for receiving an $18M gift from MacKenzie Scott, nearly doubling her initial $10M investment in 2021. The donation will be put to great use strengthening the organization’s national network, supporting on-going local work (like that done by our GLF client in the Twin Cities), and enabling expansion to more cities across the country.





Our partners at 5 by 5 Design won a Graphic Design USA 2025 Design Award! The recognition was for the signage the firm designed for the McKnight Foundation’s new headquarters in Minneapolis. Congrats! Well deserved!
