The Community Foundation  was established in 1995 to promote charitable giving as a way to create a permanent source of capital to benefit and enrich the quality of life in the Dunn County area. The Community Foundation is available to anyone that wants to help make the communities of Dunn County welcoming places to live, raise families and retire.

We can help donors create individual or family funds to benefit specific causes or organizations by offering personalized service that includes donor and family involvement to select the type of fund most suitable to meet your family’s charitable goals.
