    Growth Fund

    2025 ANNUAL REPORT

    Helping Exceptional Nonprofits Sustainably Scale Up

    In 2026 Constellation Fund is launching a new initiative called the Growth Fund to help some of our most effective poverty-fighting nonprofits sustainably scale their impact in our community.

    Challenges to Scale 

    Despite the proven impact many Twin Cities nonprofits have on systems of poverty and the people and families experiencing their effects, many of these organizations face substantial barriers to scaling their crucial work. They’re trapped in an annual funding treadmill that slows or prevents the growth needed to really meet the community’s needs.

    A Bigger Boost for Bigger Impact 

    Through the Growth Fund, Constellation is deploying transformational growth capital and talent to help exceptionally effective yet under-resourced nonprofits sustainably scale for the future.

    We’re taking a four-pillar approach:

    INVEST

    We’re providing seven-figure, multi-year scale-up investment rounds so our Growth Fund grantees can hire, expand and build infrastructure fast.

    OPTIMIZE

    Growth Fund grantees will be supported by data analytics, research, and rigorous milestones to deliver a high return on every invested dollar. Grantees will also gain access to our Beyond Dollars partners to improve operations and refine strategies.

    CATALYZE

    We will also invest in research with CoLab to identify additional interventions that can supercharge our grantees’ impact with world-class evidence.

    SUSTAIN

    Each grantee will be supported with an exit plan that enables sustainable expanded impact after the Growth Fund term, whether via government funding, policy change, or private philanthropy.

    The Growth Fund’s first focus area will be on home visiting, a method supporting Twin Cities families wherein a trusted mentor visits the household directly, offering education, health, and school readiness coaching. We look forward to sharing more on this important initiative as it gets underway.
