For the Valley.
For Good.
Connecting Generosity with Impact
At the St. Croix Valley Foundation, we help generosity take root in the place we all love—turning donors’ passions and values into lasting impact for the communities of the St. Croix Valley and beyond.
Legacy isn’t just what you leave behind, it’s what you grow while you’re here. Whether you give during your lifetime or plan a future gift, we help you grow something that matters: investments in people, programs, and communities that will thrive for generations.
Through trusted stewardship, deep local knowledge, and strong regional partnerships, we help generosity flourish—supporting the people and ideas shaping life in the Valley.
Together, we’re investing in what matters most: thriving communities, now and for the future.
In the St. Croix Valley, we’re growing something good. Join us!
