About REDEEMER CENTER FOR LIFE INC

Redeemer Center for Life (RCFL) is a Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) community development organization rooted in the Harrison neighborhood of North Minneapolis. The organization focuses on place-based work to support youth development, workforce training, attainable housing, and neighborhood stability and equity. RCFL operates a mix of programs and assets — including youth workforce programs, a community bike/shop social enterprise, and multiple attainable/transitional housing units — and continues to receive local foundation support and public grant funding. RCFL has been operating since the late 1990s (tax-exempt status established in 1999) and its most recent public filings (fiscal 2024) show ongoing housing operations as a primary revenue source while it maintains partnerships with local churches, foundations, and neighborhood networks.

Notable achievements

Sustained local investment and grant support
