GRANKMAKING | Ripley Memorial Foundation In April 2009, the Ripley Memorial Foundation became a Donor Advised Fund of the Women's Foundation of Minnesota. MISSION FUNDING PRIORITIES HISTORY Dr. Ripley spearheaded the establishment of Maternity Hospital in Minneapolis in 1886 and remained active in its concerns until her death in 1912. The hospital, later renamed Ripley Memorial Hospital, was the first city hospital to institute a social service department, to offer parenting and natural childbirth classes, and to permit infants to “room in” with their mothers. When the hospital closed in 1956, its board voted to incorporate as The Ripley Memorial Foundation and to dedicate the funds realized from the sale of the property to grantmaking. In 1993, the Foundation narrowed the focus of its grants to support programs demonstrating an intent to prevent first or second adolescent pregnancies. 2012 ADVISORY BOARD Lorie Alveshere Carol C.
