Major support for Loft activities is provided by Friends of the Loft, Amazon.com, Patrick and Aimee Butler Family Foundation, William Randolph Hearst Foundation, Jerome Foundation, McKnight Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, 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.
