Overview
Blandin Foundation is a private foundation based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota (USA). Founded by Charles K. Blandin in 1941, we are the state's largest rural-based and rural-focused foundation. As of Dec. 31, 2010, the foundation leveraged the proceeds from a trust worth more than $395 million.
