Assisting Philanthropy
in Northwest North Dakota!
​
Community foundations help build and strengthen communities by bringing people and organizations together that want to make a difference. They are tax-exempt public charities that encourage philanthropy and are committed to improving the quality of life in the areas they serve.
​
The NWND Community Foundation invests and administers funds for individual, families, businesses and organizations that want to create permanent charitable funds that help create a lasting effect in their communities.
​
Unlike private or corporate foundations which typically receive resources from a single source (e.g. a family or a company), community foundations are supported by a broad base of community members who bring together and leverage the financial resources of individuals, families, and businesses in support of people in the communities they serve.
Now is a great time to consider a gift to create an endowment fund at the NWND Community Foundation. With the North Dakota Income Tax Credit, donors can receive a 40% credit on their income taxes for gifts of $5,000 or more to qualified endowment funds. Head to the "How to Give" page for more information!

NWNDCF was formed by Ward Koeser and a group of citizens who were interested in establishing a financial vehicle as a means to give towards some of the needs in northwest North Dakota. Initial support for the Foundation came from George Gaukler a business and property owner in the region.
