The priorities of the Chinese Heritage Foundation recognize the long and
rich cultural heritage of the people of Chinese lineage in Minnesota. In
21st century America we acknowledge the challenges of preserving our
heritage and we embrace the opportunity to share our cultural wealth
with the broader community. All Minnesota organizations and residents
are eligible to apply for funding.
With respect for the traditional values of our forebears, and appreciation
for the dynamic and diverse community in which we live today, we will
focus our grantmaking on the following priorities:
