OF EXPERIENCE
The FM Area Foundation is a community foundation created by and for the people of Cass County, North Dakota, and Clay County, Minnesota. Working in partnership with individuals, families, businesses and professional advisors, we manage charitable funds, each with its own story and purpose, to provide grants to qualified nonprofit organizations. We help you give back to the community and causes you care about.
We help donors maximize their philanthropy to create a vibrant community full of opportunities for everyone.
