The Foundation:
Our mission is to make targeted investments to develop and support engaged leaders who enhance a vibrant East Metro business community.

The Foundation grows leaders and communities by bringing business resources and community opportunities together. We advocate the need for leadership in helping our business community meet workforce challenges.

We provide the following to our members and the St. Paul/East Metro community:
• Leadership programs such as Leadership St. Paul and the DEI Collaborative to educate members on the issues facing our community
• Committed volunteers
• Fundraising initiatives to address the most pressing issues surrounding workforce development and education

The Foundation supports its leadership mission through two flagship programs: Leadership St. Paul (LSP) & the DEI Collaborative. Approximately 2,500 participants have completed LSP over the last 44 years, learning about the issues and trends facing our community. Today, many LSP graduates are serving in leadership roles within local community organizations, corporations and non-profit boards.

Finding a home at the Foundation in 2021 after years at The Wilder Foundation, the DEI Collaborative transforms employer organizations to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive by facilitating deep learning with senior leaders. We support executives in deepening their personal commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and leveraging that commitment to lead meaningful change.
