About the Endowment Fund
​
The Dunn County Historical Society Endowment Fund at the Community Foundation of Dunn County was begun in 2020 to assure our organization’s future. The Community Foundation invests the fund principal and grants up to five percent in earnings back to our organization every year to help us fulfill our mission.
​
The initial $10,000 investment continues to grow with donations and legacy gifts that will increase the endowment’s earnings and secure the Society's future.
