Editor's Note: The following is a news release from the Eagan Foundation.
The Eagan Foundation today announced it has awarded $7,500 in funding to nine local non‐profits. The funding will support a wide variety of initiatives that help make Eagan the best place to live, learn, work and play.
Part of the Eagan Foundation’s mission is to support efforts that strengthen the Eagan community through grant programs—creating a legacy one gift at a time. Raising funds to support an annual grant program is an ongoing goal for the Eagan Foundation.
"The Eagan Foundation is committed to bringing neighbors together to further strengthen our great city. Through these grants, we continue to invest in our community by meeting everyday practical needs, which are being met through our grant recipients," states Michael Proebstle, Chair of the Eagan Foundation.
“Thanks to the generosity of Eagan residents, we once again were able to offer grants to deserving Eagan organizations. We were excited to receive numerous requests from a broad group of applicants,” says Eagan Foundation’s Community Grants Chair Laurie Huusko. “The grant recipients represent various sectors that provide service to diverse groups of Eagan residents and incorporate volunteers or activities that increase community engagement,” added Huusko.
The following is a list of the selected recipients and a brief description of each funded project:
