CommUnity Grants Awarded at Central Park

Organizations gathered at the historic Central Park Band Shell during Heritage Days to receive the CommUnity Award from the Faribault Foundation. Board Members Sarah Beckmann and Christine Shaffer-Brown joined Laura Bock, Foundation Executive Director to distribute the 2025 CommUnity Micro Grants.

These grants are made from the CommUnity Opportunity Fund, (formerly the 365 Fund).

The Foundation invites everyone to support this ongoing effort with a donation of just one dollar a day ($365 annually). Contributions in any amount are welcome and help fund CommUnity Micro- Grants and other programs that strengthen and support the Faribault community—now and for future generations.
