Background

About Jenny Eldredge

I am passionate about fostering stronger identities, bringing people together, and creating opportunities to bring healing to underserved communities. For the past 20 years, I have led ground-breaking, nationally recognized efforts at Bellis, a Minnesota nonprofit revolutionizing emotional support available to a uniquely marginalized population - women whose children are parented by others. I have cultivated an unmatched culture of compassion in a spirit of collaboration with brilliant partners and thought leaders. I'm honored to have been an AARP Minnesota & Pollen Midwest 50 Over 50 Honoree in the Disruptor category. Before joining Bellis, I spearheaded Give Kids a Smile in Minnesota, which has provided care to children and donated services valued at more than $26 million since 2003. People who work with me say I help them stand in their own values, with integrity and kindness. I have a Master of Theological Studies degree from the University of Dallas and a B.A. in journalism from the University of North Dakota.
