The Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation (FMAF) is a foundation for everyone in the community where contributions, both large and small, accumulate perpetually and generate interest income to support charitable needs
in the Cass and Clay County areas.
|
For nearly 50 years, the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation
has worked hard to fulfill its goal of making our community
a great place to live. Since 1960, more than 200 charitable
funds have been established and the Foundation has made
nearly $27 million in grants and distributions in support
of nonprofit organizations - more than $18 million of that
during the past decade.
However, much work remains and the current economic
climate has only intensified the task of purposeful
philanthropy throughout the Cass-Clay county area served
by the Foundation.
As the future unfolds on our next 50 years of service to
the community, the Board of Governors of the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation has created the Community
Horizons Alliance.
This innovative program will engage individuals, businesses,
foundations and organizations in supporting the changing
charitable needs of our community by increasing the
vision of the Foundation and the support for its mission of
enriching the quality of life for the people of Cass and Clay
counties.
While many of the financial resources distributed by the
Foundation come from permanently endowed funds,
resources from the Alliance will be disbursed using a pass-
through process to make them available for a particular
immediate or short-term community need or project.
A portion of your tax-deductible contribution to the
Community Horizons Alliance will increase the funds
available to respond to the needs of the community through
our Community Grant Round. |
The remainder will help sustain the ongoing operation of
the Foundation; increasing our ability to serve, support
and educate nonprofit organizations, individual donors,
community groups and professional advisors.
The Community Horizons Alliance is a fresh approach
to gift-giving and the philanthropic mission of the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation - it encourages participants
to support the evolving needs of the community. As
participation in the Community Horizons Alliance
grows, so too will its effect on the improvement of the
communities we serve.
Community Horizons Alliance contributors will be listed
within all publications of the Foundation, including the
bimonthly newsletter and Annual Report, as well as on our
web site.
Our founders built the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation
based on their vision nearly a half century ago. They
believed that when many join forces, the entire community
benefits. As we look to the future, we remain committed
to building and supporting a strong community...we invite
you to join us.

Foundation office at (701) 234-0756. To become a part of
