Fairmont Legacy Foundation Fund

The Fairmont Legacy Foundation Fund is dedicated to progress and long-term prosperity. A volunteer Fund Advisory Committee works actively to increase charitable giving and award grants to local worthy causes and projects that are addressing
emerging needs and future opportunities in our community.

October 2024, the Fairmont Legacy Foundation Fund was honored to receive a $20,000 matching grant from the Earl and Jessie Wilkins Fund and the Fillmore County Foundation. The generous grant matched private and business donations made to FLFF, doubling the impact of every contribution. Thanks to the incredible support of the community, FLFF proudly raised the full $20,000 in matching donations—maximizing the grant and bringing in a total of $40,000 to support the future of Fairmont.

Looking ahead, FLFF continues to invest in Fairmont’s future, working to ensure our village thrives. With generous donors and committed community members by our side, we eagerly anticipate what lies ahead!
