Loppet Foundation

Description

The Foundation runs year-round events to encourage outdoor activities in Minneapolis, works with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board and other community partners to provide infrastructure like trails, bridges, snowmaking and shelter, and works directly with our community, providing equipment like skis and mountain bikes, coaching, mentoring, and camps.

Our values are:

Anti-Racism: Addressing and dismantling historical and systemic inequities in outdoor spaces, and evolving into an anti-racist organization.

Collaboration: Recognizing that we are one piece of a broader community working together to create change. Building strong partnerships is vital to sustaining and living out our values.

Growth: Challenging ourselves to grow, by creating an environment for improvement, performance and achievement.

Inclusion: Committing to offering spaces, programming, and events that are inviting and accessible to all individuals seeking community in the outdoors.

Play: Finding ways to add adventure, discovery and joy into all seasons.

Stewardship: Providing mindful and responsible management of resources - including people, the land, and financial assets entrusted to our care.

Well-Being: Knowing that a connection to the outdoors is crucial to mental, physical and social health.
