Major support for Loft activities is provided by Friends of the Loft, Amazon Literary Partnership, Boss Foundation, Patrick and Aimee Butler Family Foundation, The Hearst Foundations, Jerome Foundation, McKnight 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

The Loft recognizes the original peoples of this place and affirms tribal sovereignty. We acknowledge that the state of Minnesota, the Loft and Open Book exist on the unceded homelands of the Dakota people.
