2. Introduction
• Headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the Otto Bremer Trust (OBT)
maintains a presence across the Upper Midwest, with a focus on
communities where its affiliated bank has operations. In February 2017,
the Otto Bremer Trust awarded the Sanneh Foundation $600,000 to
support expansion efforts.
Established in 2013 and located on Saint Paul’s East Side, the foundation
operates out of the Conway Recreation Center and maintains extensive
youth programming. Early initial investments by OBT have enabled the
growth of resources and interventions that place struggling students on
the right track. The foundation’s Dreamline program is integrated within
schools in three local communities and pairs students who underperform
with tutors and mentors to help them succeed.
The $600,000 OBT grant will be administered over a four-year period and
will boost the foundation’s mentorship offerings. It amplifies the annual
Dreamline budget of $3.5 million, which supports activities described as
promoting equity and diversity.
