Bush Foundation Ecosystem Grant - 2022 Report
The Minnesota Design Center (MDC) is grateful for the support of the Bush Foundation, enabling us to hire a diversity of students and support a diversity of staff and affiliates to do community-engaged work in under-served neighborhoods, districts, and cities. The 2022 Accomplishments Report is now available and summarizes the work that we have done with Bush Foundation funding. All of the work cited seeks to advance the purpose of the Ecosystem Grant program: spreading great ideas, building capacity, and growing leadership networks.
