Why Give to DSACF

Wirtanen Farm Day Festival in Markham, Minnesota is a fall celebration of Finnish culture that provides both education and understanding of the importance of cultural heritage. The festival includes traditional storytelling, music and dance, crafters, artisans and blacksmiths and attracts about 500 people.

The festival is just one of many projects that have received funding from the Wirtanen Family Fund.

The Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation has the vision, experience, and skills to build on our area’s legacy of caring. By partnering with us, you can experience giving that is:

Permanent: Gifts to the Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation benefit the community forever. Earnings on permanently endowed funds create charitable capital to improve the region's quality of life.
Flexible: We work with you one-on-one to fund what matters to you. Whether it is a particular field of interest, specific organization, scholarship or supporting the mission of the Community Foundation with an unrestricted gift—we’ll work with you to meet your giving goals.
Simple: One gift with us can address multiple needs in the region saving you time and money in trying to divide appreciated securities, investigating requests, monitoring programs, and keeping records.

As a Donor, you’ll also enjoy:

Professional Management: The Community Foundation pools multiple gifts for investment purposes, providing sound investment management of your gift at minimal cost, while providing the greatest impact in your community both now and in the future.
Peace of Mind: Each year, we report to the community through annual reports that include financial statements certified by independent auditors.
Tax Benefits: As a public charity, donors enjoy the maximum tax advantages for income, capital gains, gifts, and estate tax purposes.
Anonymity: While allowing us to acknowledge our donors' generosity often inspires others to give, you can choose to give anonymously.
