Our Mission The Chinese Heritage Foundation has been established by members of the local Chinese community in cooperation with The Minneapolis Foundation to preserve and promote the understanding of Chinese history, culture, and heritage among all Minnesotans. The inaugural fund of the Foundation will be an endowed fund, with grants of income restricted to certain funding priorities. Recognizing that the charitable interests of Chinese families are broad and diverse, individual Donor Advised Funds may also be established as part of the Chinese Heritage Foundation.
