MAC Foundation for Safety
AAA Minneapolis members know many of the ways we can help them, from planning trips and figuring out insurance plans to learning to drive and providing roadside assistance, but did you know we also have a non-profit foundation to inform the community about traffic safety?
From supporting over 160 school safety patrols to recycling old car seats and giving out nearly $15,000 in grant money for traffic safety initiatives and projects, the Minneapolis Auto Club Foundation for Safety is a very active part of Hennepin County. These projects and partnerships—which aim to protect, educate and advocate for all of our neighbors—are made possible through the generous donations of AAA Minneapolis members.
If you would like to donate to the MAC Foundation for Safety, you can do so by:

One of AAA’s primary missions since its founding in 1902 is keeping roadways safe. With the surge in people and cars in the United States during that time, AAA knew it would need to expand its traffic safety efforts.
