Corporate & Community Partnerships
We are raising more than children — we’re cultivating a generation of fearless, compassionate leaders who will inherit a planet in urgent need of care and stewardship.
Your partnership is a bold investment in the future: nurturing young minds grounded in resilience, empathy, and a profound connection to the natural world. Together, we can spark the kind of transformative change that echoes far beyond the forest trails and classrooms.
Why Your Partnership Matters
The challenges facing our world — climate change, social division, and childhood mental health crises — demand solutions that start early. Nature-based education builds not only knowledge but character, creativity and courage. By investing in Minneapolis Nature Preschool, you’re fueling a model that empowers children to become adaptable, thoughtful and engaged citizens.
With your support, we can:
-
Open doors for more children through expanded scholarships and tuition assistance, breaking down barriers to nature-rich education.
-
Deepen and broaden our curriculum to cultivate social-emotional well-being alongside environmental stewardship.
-
Grow and sustain our outdoor learning environments as vital spaces for discovery, healing and growth.
-
Advance research and program innovation to maximize impact and share best practices with the wider educational community.
Proven Impact, Growing Momentum
Minneapolis Nature Preschool is proud to be a trusted recipient of competitive public and environmental grants, including funding from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ No Child Left Inside program and Hennepin County’s Green Partners Grant. These investments reflect the value of our nature-based, community-centered education model — and the growing recognition that early childhood experiences in nature build healthier, more resilient communities.
Your partnership will help us build on this momentum, scaling our impact and expanding access to nature-rich, socially conscious early education for families across Minneapolis.
