Windom Area Community Foundation
The mission of the Windom Area Foundation is to connect donors with causes – making the Windom area a great place to live, work and play. 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 Windom area.

Since inception, the Windom Area Foundation and its related funds have granted more than $105,000 to support local organizations, community projects, Windom Area Schools, and the new veterans memorial.
