Our community’s future is sitting down right now writing scholarship essays. And we need thoughtful neighbors to help read them.

We’re looking for volunteer essay readers to review and score applications from local students. It’s flexible, meaningful work you can do on your own schedule — and it directly impacts who receives scholarships this year. Go through our short orientation this year - review essays this year and for years to come!

If you’ve been looking for a steady, meaningful way to show up for Eagan, this is it.

Community doesn’t happen by accident — it’s built by people who care. 💚 The Eagan Community Foundation exists to connect that care with real community needs.

Board service is one way to help shape the community we want to live in — and turn care for community into meaningful, long-term impact. 🌱

If you’ve ever felt called to help shape Eagan’s future, this is the moment to lean in. We currently have several board openings and would love to connect.

We have some critical gaps in volunteers for our annual Super Bagging fundraiser + community awareness event this Saturday and Sunday (Feb 7-8). Especially in Lakeville & Burnsville - we need about 100 more volunteers. Can you help?

We’ll be at Cub Foods bagging groceries for tips. Every dollar raised goes directly to providing fresh, healthy food for local families in Dakota County!

This is a fantastic volunteer opportunity for kids, families, and groups - it’s easy, fun, and makes a big impact in just a 2 hour shift.
