The Willmar Area Community Foundation was established in 1998. Since its inception, the organization has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to community nonprofits, projects and programs.
The world is in the middle of the largest transfer of wealth in history as baby boomers reach retirement age. This also means today's older farmers are starting to think about and plan for their future and legacy once they pass. The Willmar Area Community Foundation has started to see an increase in the number of farmers putting legacy charity donations into place, using things such as grain, equipment and land to fund the donations.
