Since 1987, area residents have been turning to the Winona Community Foundation to make their philanthropic giving as easy and effective as possible. We are a public charity serving thousands of people who share a common concern - improving the quality of life in the Winona area.

Individuals, families, businesses and other non-profit organizations create charitable funds that help our region meet the challenges of changing times.

The Foundation invests and administers these funds and then uses the distributions to award close to $2 million in grants each year to many of the humanitarian, educational and cultural organizations in this remarkable region we call home.
