Granite Falls Area Community Foundation
The mission of the Granite Falls Area Community Foundation is to provide opportunities for the community to connect the legacy of the past to tomorrow’s dreams through charitable giving and grantmaking. Organized under the umbrella of Southwest Initiative Foundation, the community foundation is a vehicle for making charitable contributions for the benefit of the community through a permanent endowment fund. A local advisory board provides oversight and directs how funds will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Granite Falls area.
