Our Story:

Our story:

The Faribault Foundation was established as a community foundation in 1999 by a group of community leaders, to enable people who love their community to support it today and in the future. By combining gifts, great and small, the foundation gives everyone the opportunity to be a philanthropist.

 

Most nonprofits commonly serve a singular need or demographic by providing a specific service.  Community foundations are devoted to helping solve diverse and emerging community problems and strengthening new and existing community assets primarily by providing financial support. The Faribault Foundation has the flexibility to channel resources into multiple organizations to help address the most pressing community needs and the most exciting community projects. The unique purpose of the Faribault Foundation is to support what is important to Faribault today and long into the future.


The Faribault Foundation is on a mission to improve the quality of life in our region through the generosity of donors.

​

Our eye is on high-impact, sustainable philanthropy… helping people who love Faribault make meaningful gifts to the causes they love -- today and tomorrow.
