Minnesota Beautiful Program
The Southwest Initiative Foundation and Valspar Corporation partner to make the Minnesota Beautiful Program available to communities and organizations in southwest Minnesota. The program provides the necessary paint and coatings to help communities and organizations complete restoration and beautification projects within the 18 counties of southwest Minnesota.
Projects that may qualify for a grant include, but are not limited to, historic buildings, senior citizen or handicapped facilities, community centers, public buildings, murals, or other visual impact projects. Projects that do not fall within the scope of the Minnesota Beautiful program include denominational churches, city maintenance, or privately-owned facilities.
Selection is based on the visual impact of the project, public benefit to the community, volunteer participation, intended use of the building, and the benefit to those in need.
