About The Constellation Fund
The Constellation Fund is a poverty-fighting organization in the Twin Cities that invests philanthropic resources into nonprofits raising the living standards of individuals and families experiencing poverty in the seven-county metropolitan area. Constellation takes an outcome-based approach to this critical effort, prioritizing evidence over anecdotes to find, fund, and empower poverty-fighting service providers shown by evidence to be creating transformational impact in our community.
Modeled after the Robin Hood Foundation in New York City and Tipping Point Community in San Francisco, the Constellation Fund makes evidence-based investments of philanthropic resources in the nonprofits making the largest measurable improvements to the living standards of those below the poverty line in the Twin Cities.
With one-in-five residents of the Twin Cities living in poverty, our philanthropic community must strategically focus its resources on the interventions providing the largest poverty-fighting impacts. Constellation will address this pressing challenge by thoughtfully applying the principles of modern economic decision-making to the important business of local philanthropy. By carefully leveraging peer-reviewed research, local demographic information, and data from nonprofits, Constellation conducts detailed quantitative analysis along with best-in-class qualitative consideration in order to identify and fund poverty-fighting interventions that, judged with the best available evidence, are the most impactful among the available options.
Since the Board of Directors underwrites Constellation’s operating costs, every outside dollar raised by the organization goes directly to its carefully-selected nonprofit grantees, which are provided not only with funding, but also with access to best-in-class pro bono partners that can provide invaluable services and expertise otherwise inaccessible to most nonprofits in their efforts to improve and scale their impacts.
