Support your community.

In 2013, the Foundation’s first priority was to establish a permanent endowment fund which will benefit the greater Nicollet area into perpetuity.   The General Endowment Fund is that fund.   During the first 3 years, the Foundation’s fundraising focused on building that fund.   With the help of our generous founders, we were able to meet our initial goal of $250,000!

The Founders Club was established as a one-time opportunity for all potential donors to help get the Foundation off to a strong start in its initial fundraising campaign.  Individuals, families, businesses, clubs and organizations gave to the Foundation.  Multiple year pledges were welcomed with a minimum cash contribution of $1,000 in 2014.  Donors gave outright gifts of cash by sending in a check or by credit card.  Others donated on this website via PayPal.  A PayPal account was not necessary to do so.

A plaque commemorating the Founders was unveiled at the Nicollet Public School 100th year celebration.  It is permanently located outside the Nicollet Public School theater.

Thank you to our Founders!
Your generosity is truly appreciated.
