After more than 40 years in the Fargo area, Jason and Nikki Loney chose to establish a fund with the FM Area Foundation as a way to turn gratitude into lasting impact.
Their decision was shaped by a desire to partner with an organization that would understand their long-term vision for giving and help them create a meaningful legacy for the community they have long called home.
“Meeting with Eric and Lexi from the FM Area Foundation gave us confidence that we had found the right partner for our charitable giving,” the Loneys shared. “Their knowledge, professionalism, and genuine commitment to helping us create a lasting legacy made the decision to establish our fund an easy one.”
Grounded in their Christian faith, the family is passionate about loving and serving their neighbors, caring for those in need, and supporting organizations that provide both practical assistance and hope. They are especially drawn to ministries and nonprofits that demonstrate compassion, integrity, and a commitment to helping people thrive.
Through their fund, they hope to strengthen the community by meeting real needs, offering encouragement, and creating opportunities for individuals and families to flourish now and for generations to come.
“We’re incredibly grateful when donors entrust the FM Area Foundation with their charitable giving,” said Eric Wilkie, Executive Director. “It’s a privilege to walk alongside families as they turn their generosity into a lasting part of our community. We take that responsibility seriously and are honored to help them carry out the charitable goals that are meaningful to them.”
By establishing the Loney Family Fund, Jason and Nikki are creating a legacy of generosity that reflects both their deep faith and their enduring commitment to the Fargo-Moorhead community.
“We hope future generations will know that our decision to give back was rooted in gratitude,” the Loneys shared. “Our faith teaches us to love our neighbors, care for those in need and be faithful stewards of what God has entrusted to us.”
