Our Mission

The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation was established in 2015 by local community leaders who envisioned an organization based on community. A community of donors. A community of grantees. A community of volunteers. And a community of individuals, families, businesses, and others who live, work, and play in the greater White Bear Lake area.


Our mission is to inspire philanthropy and to enrich the lives of those who live in the communities that share the shores of White Bear Lake—Birchwood Village, Dellwood, Grant, Mahtomedi, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, and Willernie—now and in the future.
