20 YEARS OF ENGAGEMENT 2018 is a transformative year for our region. Twenty years ago, in the aftermath of the disastrous Flood of 1997, an eclectic group of leaders and visionaries established a foundation committed to the rebuilding and reinvigoration of a region. What started as a glimpse of what could be has grown into a driving philanthropic force for the middle and upper Red River Valley. Dedicated to engagement, investment, and vibrancy, we have carried our mission by:

• Connecting donors’ charitable goals to essential needs across the region,• Serving as a vital resource to area nonprofits, and• Engaging partners in innovative ideas and community-focused

initiatives. In twenty years, there are few places in our region that the Community Foundation has not touched. We owe that to our founders who had an immense vision and the hundreds more who generously continued to build upon those ideals throughout our history. They were those who served on the first board of directors; Mike Maidenberg, the Foundation’s first board president and the former Herald publisher; the twenty women who established the Women’s Fund; and the many who have left beautiful legacies that will continue to ripple across our region. Many of those philanthropists appear in the pages of this publication. Those and so many more – fund holders, donors, trusted advisors, volunteers, former board and committee members - they have all contributed to make this Foundation what it is today, a community committed to tomorrow. If you are one of these many benefactors, thank you. If not yet, please join us for the next 20 years as we continue to build a healthier, more vibrant community for generations to come.

20 YEARS OF VIBRANCY1997/1998The foundation was founded in 1997 and received its nonprofit, 501(c)(3) status on January 16, 1998 as the Greater Grand Forks Community Foundation. The first fund established included the Youth Orchestras Fund (established by an anonymous donor) and the Home of Economy Fund (an unrestricted fund established by donations from Mid-States Distributing Company, Inc. employees, in the name of Home of Economy).

1999The first staff was hired in the fall of 1999. The name was changed to the Community Foundation of Grand Forks, East Grand Forks & Region. The Community Foundation Endowment Fund was established.

2000Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who contributed $400,000 to establish three funds, net assets of the Community Foundation reached $1 million.

2001The first grant round was completed which allowed 11 nonprofits to receive a grant award. Otter Bremer Foundation added $25,000 to their Human Rights Endowment.

2002The Women’s Fund was formed in November by 20 area women. Both the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Otto Bremer Foundation awarded $150,000 to the Community Foundation.

2003Thanks to donors, net assets reached $2 million which allowed the Foundation to receive additional Knight Foundation funding.

2004The Knight Foundation Donor-Advised Fund reached $1 million through a $750,000 gift. The First Annual Dinner was held and the first annual Thankful Hearts letter campaign was conducted. The Foundation reached $3 million in assets with 36 funds managed.

2005The website was launched. Twenty-one agencies were recipients of grants. A 3-year, $150,000 grant from Otto Bremer Foundation was awarded to the Women’s Fund.

2006The Foundation moved to its new and present location in the downtown US Bank building. The first Women’s Fund grants were awarded, totaling $10,000, thanks to the Bremer Foundation. Donations in the 4th quarter alone exceeded $305,000.

2007An anonymous donor gave a total of $200,000 to 4 funds managed by the Foundation. An organizational effectiveness grant from the Otto Bremer Foundation was received.

Celebrating 20 Years of Community | 9

2008/2009A $300,000, 4-year grant from the Chambers Family Fund for the Women’s Fund was received. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation awarded a one-year planning grant for a Neighborhood Revitalization Project. The Foundation completed a strategic planning process that further refined and refocused the work of the Foundation.

2010The Foundation engaged the community with a “Speak Up for Your Library” campaign to share information through several local media outlets on various topics related to the library, including vision and purpose, programming and technology, potential partnerships, and funding. Residents were fos to share their thoughts to foster positive discussion around this important community asset.

2011The Women’s Fund reached their milestone $500,000 endowment goal.

The Community Foundation’s relationships with donors opened the door for initial private funding for Choice Health & Fitness.

2012The Community Foundation was a leader in the NV360 Community Visioning project. NV360 brought together residents,, nonprofits, businesses, and civic leaders to

discuss the present and future of our community. In 2012, the Foundation led this visioning process, presented NV360 results, and started implementation with the new NV360 Action Team. Engagetheforks.com, an online community engagement platform, was launched by the Foundation and the City of Grand Forks to host energetic conversations on housing needs, community visioning, and use and development of our parks. Choice Health & Fitness opened in 2012 to rave reviews. The Foundation was pleased to have secured several million dollars in private funds for the center.

2013The Foundation created the Forkin’ It Over Micro Grant Program to inspire our community’s young people by empowering, strengthening, and investing in new ideas.

2014/2015The Community Foundation and NV360 partners were awarded a $200,000 Bush Foundation Community Innovation grant for 2014 and 2015. The award was used to inspire and empower residents to carry out the findings of the NV360 process through a micro-grant program and with action teams at various community levels. Projects were funded in community leadership, core-city vibrancy, arts and culture, entrepreneurship, talent retention, basic services, and information sharing.

2016The Foundation was a leader in the establishment of the Pembina Gorge Foundation and the purchase of Frost Fire, a 173-acre northeastern North Dakota ski area, located in the Pembina Gorge.

2017 The Women’s Fund launched their first Women’s Fund Leadership Academy aimed at empowering a diverse set of women to become leaders and make purposeful change within the community. Net assets surpassed $10.5 million,

2018The Foundation partnered with the City of Grand Forks to administer the Arts Regrant Program. Fourteen grants, totaling approximately $116,000, were distributed to area arts nonprofits. The Foundation launched Gears of Gratitude, an initiative – underwritten by Alerus – to celebrate 20 years of community engagement, investment, and vibrancy since the Foundation first opened its doors after the Flood of 1997. The project resulted in the design of 28 unique bicycles, created by residents and displayed in various locations across the community.
