Upstream Minnesota

Let’s go Upstream.

Upstream brings people together to celebrate and amplify the many ways Minnesotans of all backgrounds love and value our place. 

When you give to Upstream, you are:

• Inspiring people to take new actions to be better stewards of our natural places
• Building trust among people across racial, political, and geographic differences
• Ensuring that in Minnesota, the outdoors are for everyone

How you can help:

• $50 - Bridge the Divide: help bring together two Minnesotans with different perspectives for conversation that fosters connection and understanding across divides.
• $250 - Unsung Caretaker Grant: fund a mini-grant to support one Unsung Caretaker’s vital community stewardship work, recognizing and empowering their efforts to care for Minnesota.
• $500 - Stewardship in Action: cover the costs for the Upstream Story Trailer to host a weekend event at a local park or farmers market, engaging Minnesotans in caring for their communities and our natural places.

• $1,000 - Stewardship Storyteller: support an Upstream Storyteller, enabling them to document and share their stewardship journey, inspiring others to take action and care for Minnesota.

A gift of any size supports our mission—to inspire connection, trust and stewardship.

Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to a generous gift from the Upstream Organizing Committee.

Thank you for your support of Upstream.  You love where you live, and it shows!
