Bird Island-Olivia Community Foundation

The BIO Legacy Foundation was created in 2012. 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 that enables people to give back and fulfill the dreams for tomorrow. A local advisory board provides oversight and directs how funds will be used for the exclusive benefit of the Bird Island-Olivia area. The goals of the Bird Island-Olivia Community Foundation are to enhance the rural lifestyle in the Bird Island and Olivia area by supporting ideas and projects that strengthen their communities. They support four pillar areas: education, recreation, health and amenities.
