The Sanctuary Community Development Corporation

The Sanctuary Community Development Corporation (The Sanctuary CDC) was founded by members of Sanctuary Covenant Church, a multi-ethnic congregation in North Minneapolis with a vision for community transformation that extends far beyond the walls of the church. The Sanctuary CDC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit separate from the church with its own staff, board, and bookkeeping system. The Sanctuary CDC operates programming that is for all community members, regardless of their religious beliefs or affiliation.

The Sanctuary Community Development Corporation exists to collaborate with others in North Minneapolis to address concerns related to health, economic and workforce development and youth development. We work to empower residents, both individually and collectively, striving to help people who lack economic and social resources and, at the same time, to correct structural injustices that affect the individuals and community of North Minneapolis.
