St. Croix Valley Foundation

The SCVF fosters philanthropic activity that benefits a six-county area in the St. Croix Valley of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Together with the vital work of our 10 affiliate community foundations—volunteer-run organizations located in the communities they serve—the SCVF strengthens the region’s quality of life, including our culture and kinship, economic and social well-being, and history and future. SCVF was founded in 1995 by forward-thinking individuals who saw the river as a bridge and not a boundary and recognized that our communities have common interests and issues. They established the SCVF to provide a reliable means for people who care about this beautiful region to help Valley non-profits and communities by keeping philanthropic contributions local.
