THE JAMES J FIORENTINO FOUNDATION

The James J. Fiorentino Foundation is a Minnesota-based private foundation (tax-exempt since 2008) that supports museum and collection activities in Minneapolis. The foundation is categorized under arts, culture and humanities with an emphasis on museum and museum activities and operates a small, appointment-based museum in Minneapolis’ North Loop that displays clocks, mechanical objects and a variety of antiques. In recent years the foundation has shown substantial financial activity consistent with private foundation operations: it reported a large contribution year in 2022 and has maintained multi-million-dollar net assets, while making regular charitable disbursements and covering operating costs. The organization files Form 990-PF as a private foundation and lists trustees and senior staff on its filings; it continues to be donor-facing through its museum activities and occasional grants/charitable disbursements.
