Our Mission and Vision

The Lionsgate Foundation champions neurodiversity, including autism and other learning differences, by expanding opportunities and increasing connection for students and their families, special educators, and the broader community.

We directly support Lionsgate Academy schools and other Minnesota-based organizations serving the neurodiverse community.

We help fund innovative academic programs, extracurricular activities, sensory-safe environments, life-changing equipment, and initiatives that honor each learner’s unique processing style while enhancing their overall well-being.

Our History

Founded in 2011, Lionsgate Foundation began as a part of Lionsgate Academy (LGA), a charter school with three locations in the Minneapolis and St. Paul metro area.

Today, we are a separate nonprofit organization, providing funding for innovative projects and emerging needs within LGA and beyond.
