About the Galesburg Area Foundation

The Galesburg Area Foundation was established in 2012 to promote charitable work in Galesburg, North Dakota. It provides a method of receiving donations and distributing grants to benefit projects or nonprofit organizations in Galesburg. The Foundation is affiliated with the North Dakota Community Foundation, which is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation under IRS code 501(c)(3) and North Dakota Law.

The Galesburg Area Foundation is managed locally by a group of volunteers whose main activities are building the fund and recommending grants annually. 

The Galesburg Community Foundation has held several successful Ice Cream Socials to introduce the fund to residents and raise money to grow the fund.
