By The Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation The Power of Possible, a new initiative from the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, highlights stories of individuals and communities creating change in ways both bold and quietly transformative. “Even as we hold our differences, we care about the same things. That our families are well. That we can pay our bills, afford food and gas, and make a life that we’ve dreamed of for ourselves, our children and our neighborhoods,” said President and CEO Chanda Smith Baker. “Dreaming of a better future alone can be scary. The Power of Possible is an invitation to dream together, and to be inspired by the work of others.” The idea behind the Power of Possible is simple but expansive: meaningful change begins when people choose to believe that tomorrow can look different from today.

Six friends have been circling the last slice of pizza for twenty minutes. Nobody claims it when you ask, yet two people keep glancing at the box. You are still hungry and paid the same share as everyone else.

Does politeness require leaving something that nobody will openly claim?
