Model Cities of St Paul, Inc.

Stay Tuned: Our GTMD26 $4,321 campaign will launch on November 1, 2026 

Together, we'll raise $4,321 (or even more) for projects that support our community members. Families in across Minnesota and right here in Saint Paul continue to navigate tough choices about their well-being. We believe that when we come together we can face challenges and cultivate hope! We invite you to come back during the Give to the Max Giving period this year to help us reach our goal. 

Your gift makes a difference: 

• *$40 (monthly) can help support programming that helps us support brighter futures for all our neighbors
• *$30 (one-time) can help supply coffee for Safe Space Shelter guests
• *$20 (monthly) can supply dental care and hygiene products for Safe Space
• *$10 (one-time) gets us closer to our Give to the Max goal

Whether you give $4, $30, $200, or $10, you’ll make an impact for our neighbors through present challenges and in building their futures.

Tips for making an impact during Give to the Max

Give early and give here: Make your gift on our GiveMN page. When you make a gift to support us during the giving period and on the big day, Model Cities will be eligible for the GTMD26 prize pool. This gives us more chances for more funds to move our mission forward!

Don’t be shy about sharing: We’re excited to celebrate Give to the Max and will be posting to our social media accounts throughout the giving period and on the Great Minnesota Day of Giving. We would love to see you sharing about why you choose to Give to the Max and your reasons for supporting Model Cities! Please share our story on social media, email, and with colleagues, family and friends to build momentum with us. #ModelCitiesGTMD

Supporting Pathways to Progress: Our mission is to promote social and economic prosperity by providing access to opportunities that stabilize and develop families and communities. We envision an equitable community where all people have access to housing, economic opportunities, and culturally-responsive services that help them thrive.

About Model Cities

With your support Model Cities makes impact year-round! Here's how we supported our neighbors in 2025:

By the numbers

Individuals served across all programs

People received financial education and homeownership advising

Households advised by Economic Services became homeowners

Unhoused adults served at Safe Space Shelter

Model Cities provides services across a whole continuum, from folks who are unsheltered to families who are looking to purchase their first home. We have an opportunity to meet people at different places in their lives.
