Bill > SF1414

This bill appropriates $3,000,000 from the state's general fund in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, specifically to provide a grant to the Kids in Need Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The purpose of the grant is to help the foundation acquire property in Little Canada for establishing a school supply distribution and educator resource center. The center aims to support underserved students and teachers across Minnesota. The appropriation is designated as a one-time funding allocation and will remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with state financial guidelines outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. By providing this funding, the bill seeks to support educational resources and help address resource gaps for students and educators who may lack access to necessary school supplies.
