2021 Grants
We were proud to support the American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO) as they took steps to ensure that basic needs of food and protective equipment reached the most vulnerable in the Duluth community.
Our grants provided support for the Superior Hiking Trail Association, Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Friends of the Finland Community, Duluth Folk School, and The Kako Foundation, along with many other organizations doing great things throughout our region.
