The Andersen Corporate Foundation is thrilled to announce the recipients of its spring 2025 grant round. This season, the Foundation has committed over $1.9 million to 92 nonprofit organizations in the first of its two (2) annual grant rounds. Living up to our promise that everyone benefits from their association with Andersen, the Foundation continues to support impactful work in communities across the United States.

As part of this $1.9 million, the Andersen Corporate Foundation has approved $675,000 in capital grants to three organizations, including:

  • Lakeview Health Foundation will receive $500,000 in support of its transformative capital campaign to build the new $450 million Lakeview Hospital campus. Serving over 300,000 residents across Minnesota and Wisconsin, the new campus will expand access to high-quality healthcare, reduce travel burdens, and enhance the patient experience — ultimately accelerating recovery and improving community well-being.
  • Every Meal will receive $100,000 in support of its $12.2 million “Setting the Table: Giving Kids a Full Tomorrow” campaign. This comprehensive initiative will fund the purchase of Every Meal’s building and support key capital and capacity-building projects, strengthening the organization’s ability to fight child hunger and ensuring long-term sustainability in its mission to provide food security for children across Minnesota.
  • Opening Doors will receive $75,000 in support of its “Under One Roof” campaign, which will consolidate and expand services for women and families experiencing homelessness in Dubuque, Iowa. This initiative will strengthen Opening Doors’ ability to provide emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing, along with vital casework, mentoring, and opportunities that empower women to overcome poverty and trauma and build fulfilling, successful lives.

Additionally, $735,000 in installment payments were distributed toward previously approved capital commitments. These investments continue to advance critical infrastructure and capacity-building efforts that strengthen communities across the region. Benefiting organizations include:

  • CollegeBound Saint Paul
  • FamilyMeans
  • Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity
  • Neighborhood House
  • Regions Hospital Foundation
  • Second Harvest Heartland
  • Science Museum of Minnesota
  • Solid Ground
  • St. Croix Valley Foodbank
  • St. Croix Valley Habitat for Humanity
  • Tubman
  • Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity 

“We are honored to support more than 90 organizations in our 2025 spring grant round, including a capital investment in Lakeview Health Foundation to support its commitment of access to high-quality healthcare and patient experience in our headquarters community,” said Eliza Chlebeck, vice president of communications and community at Andersen Corporation, and vice president of the Andersen Corporate Foundation. “These organizations are not only pillars of our community but catalysts for progress, working to meet some of society’s most urgent needs.” 

The Andersen Corporate Foundation was established in 1941 with the mission to improve lives and strengthen communities where Andersen employees live and work. Since then, the Foundation has donated over $74 million to worthy causes in the areas of housing, health, hunger relief and education.  

As part of each grant round, the Foundation works with employee committees at multiple locations across the United States, empowering Andersen’s local teams to help the Foundation give in ways they feel is most meaningful to their unique community.
