Gneiss Collective is a newly established organization based in Granite Falls, Minnesota. We are fiscally sponsored by Department of Public Transformation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and governed by a Board of Directors of four local residents. Our mission is to foster a resilient and creative region by serving the community through three interconnected pillars:

  • Environmental Connection – cultivating awareness and stewardship of our natural surroundings.

  • Music & Arts – supporting local musicians, artists, and creatives in sharing their work with the community.

  • Economic Vitality – encouraging entrepreneurial growth and building sustainable systems that benefit the region.

Through these efforts, we aim to strengthen community bonds, uplift independent creatives, and create opportunities for collective growth and well-being.
