GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. — The Minnesota Council on Foundations (MCF) has recognized Blandin Foundation with a 2026 Ubuntu Leadership Award, honoring the Foundation’s sustained, organization-wide work to advance equity, belonging, diversity and inclusion in philanthropy and rural communities.

Blandin Foundation was one of three organizational honorees and six recipients overall. The award was presented July 24 during the inaugural Ubuntu Leadership Summit in Duluth. This is only the second year MCF has presented the award.
The award takes its name from the African philosophy of ubuntu, often expressed as “I am because we are.” It recognizes a way of leading rooted in community, connection and shared humanity. These principles align closely Blandin Foundation’s belief that meaningful rural work is done with rural people and places, not to them or for them. “Ubuntu, to us, is a rural way of thriving, where relationships are the roots that hold us steady as seasons change,” said Tuleah Palmer, president and CEO of Blandin Foundation. “Belonging in a rural place is not a statement but a practice, one that has to keep expanding to hold all of who we are and who we’re becoming. It is shaped by persistence, humility and the courage to face hard truths and grow through them. ‘I am because we are.’ We do not endure alone.”

Palmer continued: “It lives in how we invest in one another, how we listen, how we share power, and how we make space for many voices to shape what comes next, returning to one another, again and again, as the work evolves.”
