Concerned citizens who wanted to ensure that Richfield remains a strong and vibrant community for its residents organized the Richfield Foundation in 1989.  The foundation maintains an endowment that helps generate funds that are awarded as grants to eligible causes. The endowment has been funded by the generous support of local residents and businesses. When a donation is made to the foundation, a portion of the money will be directed to the endowment, ensuring a long-term benefit to the community.

To receive an application, please contact Susan Rosenberg at 612-866-2683 or by email at suerosenberg@comcast.net.  The application deadline is Oct. 31, 2011. For more information about the Richfield Foundation, go to RichfieldFoundationMN.org.
