Major support for Loft activities is provided by Loft members, Amazon.com, Patrick and Aimee Butler Family Foundation, William Randolph Hearst Foundation, Jerome Foundation, McKnight Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, Target Foundation, and the voters of Minnesota, through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We acknowledge that the state of Minnesota is located on the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. The Loft and Open Book are built within the homelands of the Dakota people. The Loft recognizes the original peoples of this place and affirm tribal sovereignty.
