What Is The Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation?

Community Trust Since 1960


The Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation (FMAF) is a local nonprofit entity that attracts donations of all sizes from multiple donors to create a collection of funds that will exist into perpetuity.  Contributions are tax deductible and are “pooled” in a coordinated investment process aimed at safely maximizing earnings.  That income is then used to make grants to charitable organizations and institutions that serve Cass County (ND) and Clay County (MN).  Founded in 1960 and now one of more than 700 such community foundations in the United States, the FMAF manages more than 200 funds valued at more than $47 million.  In the last 10 years the Foundation has distributed nearly $17 million in scholarships and grants supporting youth, health, human services, education, arts and civic programs.

For more information on the philanthropic purpose and operation of the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation, please continue to explore our website or call 701-234-0756.


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 of North Dakota and Minnesota.


FM Area Foundation Supports the FM Miracle League Project through a partnership with the FM Rotary Foundation

The Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation is suppporting fundraising efforts to build a Miracle Field for the Fargo-Moorhead area.  The FM Rotary Foundation, Moorhead Parks and Recreation, and others are partnering to bring this national program to the Fargo-Moorhead area.

A Miracle Field is a specially constructed field, whose unique feature is a rubber turf that can accommodate wheel chairs, walkers, crutches, braces, and other mechanisms.  Like any field, the Miracle Field will have a pitcher's mound, an outfield, dugouts, scoreboard, and bleacher seating for spectators.

The Field will provide a unique and much needed opportunity for special needs children to play baseball.  For more information go to: www.fmmiraclefield.org .
