The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago…

The second best time is now

One hundred years ago, the community foundation concept was born in the Midwest, giving rise to a new philanthropy, a new way of participating in community, and a new vision for the future.

Today, the Community Foundation of Dunn County is one of more than 700 community foundations across the United States that invite everyday people with a vision and a passion for community to create something together: For good. Forever. These organizations collectively manage more than $48 billion in assets and make grants of approximately $4.5 billion a year to improve life in their communities. This philanthropic model has spread beyond U.S. borders, with approximately 1,700 community foundations established worldwide.

At the Community Foundation, we help donors turn each and every dollar they give, into projects that add energy and vitality to our community. In the first three months of 2014 alone, the Community Foundation has already given more than $100,000 back to the community.
