One of the major components of the Twin Cities Ripple Foundation is our emphasis on education about the social issues in our community. We strive not only to donate our time, talents, and resources to organizations but also to learn about what they do, who they serve and the reasons for their existence.

It is through educating ourselves that we more fully understand the needs of others and as a result be more sensitive to persons in our community. Another reason why we place a high value on education is to help people like you become an educated donor.

When we volunteer at an organization, it is our goal not only to learn about what they do but also about the broader issues that they work with.

Focus Issues that we learned about in the past
