THE ESABA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

What they do

OPERATIONAL SUPPORT for THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS of ESABA INCLUDING THREE TOP PRIORITIES - ARCADE and E7TH STREET RESILIENCY OUTREACH WITH BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY CONSTRUCTION, PURPLE LINE ENGAGEMENT ALONG WHITE BEAR AVE, and ANIT-DISPLACEMENT STRATEGIES. ESABA WORKED WITH FUNDS for OUR MEMBERS INVOLVED IN THESE THREE AREAS INCLUDING COALITION FUNDS for PURPLE PEOPLE and THE EAST SIDE COMMUNITY INVESTMENT COOPERATIVE (ESCIC). FUNDS SUPPORTED ESABAS PROGRAMS LIKE THE MAYORS BUDGET WORKSHOP, and ESABA COFFEE BREAK, and OUTREACH for THE MITIGATION FUND WE SECURED FROM THE STATE of MINNESOTA. WE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY ACQUIRED GRANT FUNDING THROUGH THE FOUNDATION to SUPPORT ESABA to EXPAND CAPACITY to SERVE MORE BUSINESSES, CONNECTING THEM to RESOURCES LIKE THE MITIGATION FUND and PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES.
