The Confluence Project is an ambitious, long-term undertaking. Investments in land acquisition, facilities and public programs will ultimately exceed $200,000,000. Clearly, no one organization or type of agency can accomplish these goals alone.

Non-Profit Partners
Since 1997, the Project has been led by a working partnership of non-profit organizations, brought together with encouragement and seed support from The McKnight Foundation. The non-profits represent diverse missions and geographic parts of the bi-state region. They also bring unique, complementary skills to the Project, while also continuing their good works in the community as independent organizations.
