40th Anniversary
For our 40th anniversary, we spent 2024 reflecting on our history and evolution. We talked to folks who helped create Cable Access Saint Paul (CASP) and transitioned us to the SPNN we are today. We invited past and current board members, program participants, staff, and partners to talk about the impact we have had on them personally and their larger community.
You have an opportunity to help SPNN continue for the next 40 years- support SPNN through a one time donation or become a recurring donor. Any amount helps SPNN reach our annual goal of $25,000 from individual giving.

HMONG PIONEERS:
AN SPNN DOCUMENTARY
In 1975, at the tumultuous close of the Vietnam War, the Hmong people in Lao fled their homes, livelihoods, and culture, and began to arrive in the U.S. as refugees. Since that time, Saint Paul has become the largest home of Hmong Americans; Hmong Pioneers is their story.
SPNN thanks the countless individuals who courageously shared their stories and experiences with us and the regional institutions that help us connect, learn, and explore the Hmong experience in Minnesota.
We also thank the Voqal Fund, The Saint Paul Foundation, and the F.R. Bigelow Foundation for their generous support with this important project.
