Community Foundation of Dunn County

Community Foundation of Dunn County People who care. Causes that matter. Since 1995. Countless acts of generosity, small and large, have brought us to where we are today.

The Community Foundation of Dunn County was created in 1995 by a group of community members to promote charitable giving that would create a permanent source of capital to benefit and enrich the quality of life of everyone in the Dunn County area. What has been consistent is the strong desire to give back by the people who live here. We are truly YOUR community Foundation. The Community is where w

e work, where we play, where we raise our children, where we call home. Our community has given us so much and it is our responsibility to give back.

This summer, three beautiful flower baskets hanging in downtown Menomonie will carry special meaning thanks to a generous donation from Faze’s To***co through the GFWC Flower Basket Fund.

The baskets were donated:

🌸 In honor of Sidney Bravo
🌸 In honor of Sina Rous
🌸 In loving memory of Denny Dirksen

These baskets help brighten downtown Menomonie all summer long while also serving as meaningful tributes to people who have touched our lives and community.

The GFWC Menomonie Woman’s Club, in partnership with Downtown Menomonie, continues its long tradition of helping make Menomonie a more beautiful and welcoming place through the annual hanging flower basket project. From late spring through fall, these baskets add color, character, and community spirit throughout downtown.

Looking for a special way to honor or remember someone important to you? Donations may be made in honor or memory of loved ones through the Flower Basket Fund. Each basket costs $65 and helps support both the purchase and maintenance of the flowers throughout the summer season.

Thank you to everyone who helps make downtown Menomonie bloom! 🌺
