The stories that you've found here in our Annual Report are just a few of the ways the Southwest Minnesota Foundation ensures a bright future for southwest Minnesota.  They make our communities vital, caring places where people feel welcome and free to incorporate a bit of their culture and values in the surroundings.  Their stories of success are made possible through the generosity of friends like you who contribute to the Southwest Minnesota Foundation.

The Foundation is committed to providing a wide array of options to its donors.  Whether its a donor advised fund, a community foundation, a charitable remainder trust, or a gift annuity, we're determined to provide you with every possible option to help you achieve your charitable goals. 

We especially need your support in growing our general endowment, which ensures that our essential programs remain strong today, tomorrow and well into the future.  The McKnight Foundation will match your endowment contribution dollar for dollar!

Please give today.  Working together, we can steadily build the Southwest Minnesota Foundation's endowment fund into an asset that will create opportunities that can't even be imagined yet.  It's a wonderful investment in the future.
