Giving back

Andrey arrived in the United States from Belarus in 2005 with limited English and no real estate background. The opportunity he found here is the reason he gives back — and why his philanthropy centers on the next generation.

The Homestead Road Foundation was created to support and educate kids: funding programs that give young people the tools, confidence, and opportunity to build a life of their own. The foundation partners with national organizations and local Minnesota causes alike — from rebuilding homes and feeding children to teaching teens the skills to succeed.

Organizations we support

  • Building and improving homes so more families have a safe, stable place to live.

  • Hand-packing nutritious meals shipped to kids in need around the world — an annual Homestead Road team tradition.

  • Cookie Cart

    Local (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

    Giving teens the work, life, and leadership skills to be successful — through the experience of running a bakery. A Homestead Road partner for more than a decade.
