Pohlad Family Foundation

**Who we are** We strive to improve the quality of life for Twin Cities residents most in need – especially families and youth. The work of the Foundation builds upon the values of Carl and Eloise Pohlad and reflects their generosity, entrepreneurial spirit and hometown pride. **Our efforts to create a better quality of life that is shared by all are guided by our principles:** **Accountability** All our efforts, from addressing individual needs to larger systems change, result in tangible benefits to our community. **Equity** We are committed to addressing the root causes of inequities and not just their manifestation. Demographics should not predict success. **Collaboration** We work better together toward shared goals. We build mutual, trusted relationships in the community. **Ambition** We aim high in our pursuits, seeking out bold ideas and opportunities to spark broader change. We work with determination, and we hope to inspire others through our actions.
