Fairmont Legacy Foundation Fund

The Fairmont Legacy Foundation Fund (FLFF) is committed to driving progress and building long-term prosperity in our community. Guided by a dedicated volunteer Fund Advisory Committee, FLFF actively promotes charitable giving and distributes grants to support meaningful local projects that address current needs and future opportunities.

In October 2024, FLFF proudly received a $20,000 matching grant from the Earl and Jessie Wilkins Fund and the Fillmore County Foundation. This generous grant matched every private and business donation dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the impact of each contribution. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, FLFF successfully raised the full $20,000 in matching donations—bringing in a total of $40,000 to support Fairmont’s future.

Looking ahead, the Fairmont Legacy Foundation Fund remains focused on strengthening our village. With the continued support of generous donors and passionate community members, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
