Since 2023, the Open Road Fund has given $10 million in $50,000 gifts to 200 Black folks in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. With at least six more rounds of giving—providing 600 more people the chance to gain wealth-building opportunities for themselves, their families, and their communities—Nexus Community Partners is working with Research in Action to measure the fund’s long-term impacts. In our new 2024 Annual Report, we share insights from 2023 recipients one year since they received their award and provide an overview of the 2024 awardee demographics, aspirations and concerns.
The Open Road Fund will reopen Juneteenth (June 19), 2025 for its third grantmaking year.
