Since 1989, the Perham Area Foundation has been dedicated to building a community of individuals that believe in the strength of giving. Today, we continue to shape the Perham area through connecting acts of giving with our community’s needs.
Gifts received by the Perham Area Foundation are invested for growth to make an impact long after the gift is made through grant making, scholarships, and funding of needs. The Perham Area Foundation operates in perpetuity with gifts continuing to grow and provide benefits to our community forever.
