Protect Jobs and Neighborhood Stability
During Sudden Disruptions
The Open for Tomorrow Fund is a rapid-response Minnesota stabilization fund providing time-sensitive support to protect workers, preserve jobs, and sustain essential neighborhood services during sudden disruptions, prioritizing job retention and service continuity.
When neighborhoods are disrupted by federal enforcement and executive actions, working families and local communities are caught in the middle. Customers stop coming. Workers can’t get to work. Paychecks are interrupted. Deliveries stall. Revenue drops overnight.
For workers and families who depend on Main Street jobs, even a few days of disruption can mean missed rent, lost healthcare, and deep financial instability. For neighborhoods, it can mean permanent loss of essential local services.
The Open for Tomorrow Fund exists to step in fast to protect workers, preserve jobs, and stabilize neighborhoods. Donate today so we can provide rapid, targeted support to help keep people employed, essential services operating, and community institutions intact during periods of sudden disruption.
Your contribution helps support working families, preserve employment, and prevent neighborhood economic collapse during moments of crisis.
The Rundown
Why Now?
Federal enforcement activity has destabilized communities across Minnesota, leading to lost customers, workforce interruptions, and sudden economic shocks that ripple through families and neighborhoods.
The Open for Tomorrow Fund exists to help communities absorb these shocks by supporting job retention, worker stability, and continuity of essential local services.
How It Works
Phase 1 (February 2026): Grassroots fundraising to resource community-serving enterprises and stabilize local employment.
Phase 2 (March 2026): Applications open and submissions reviewed on a rolling basis with priority given to worker and community impact.
Phase 3 (March 2026): Rapid disbursement of stabilization funds to support job retention, worker continuity, and essential neighborhood services.
What Support Looks Like
Funds will be used to support community stabilization efforts, including:
Payroll and job retention to prevent sudden layoffs
Worker support costs, including emergency scheduling disruptions and continuity of pay
Essential operating expenses needed to keep community-serving businesses open
Stabilization costs that help prevent permanent closures and loss of neighborhood services
All support is designed to prioritize public benefit, job preservation, and community continuity.
Who is this For?
Community-serving enterprises in Minnesota that have experienced material disruption and play a critical role in:
Employing local workers
Providing essential goods or services
Anchoring neighborhood economic stability
Priority is given to businesses whose stabilization directly protects workers, families, and vulnerable communities.
The big Picture
The Open for Tomorrow Fund is built for speed, accountability, and public impact. We deliver targeted stabilization support to protect jobs, support working families, and keep essential neighborhood institutions operating so help reaches communities when it’s needed.
Small businesses are more than businesses. They are employers, community anchors, and lifelines for working families. When disruption hits, workers and neighborhoods pay the price first. The Open for Tomorrow Fund helps ensure families can keep their jobs, communities can keep essential services, and Main Street doesn’t have to carry the burden of crisis alone.
