Four Focus Areas

HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS

The strength of a community depends to a great extent on the quality of life available to children, families and seniors in need. To that end, we develop philanthropic support across all age ranges.

ENHANCING OUR SAFETY

In a time of great public concern for our international and national security, we are committed to supporting the work of Edina’s exemplary public safety agencies.  

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

A suburban city has a special challenge to define and celebrate its own identity, so that residents can come together and enjoy a full life in their own community. We help to fulfill this in many ways.

BEAUTIFYING OUR CITY

Our residents place great value on beauty and aesthetic quality. Because of that, we develop support for City parks, public landscaping, and art and music programs in public places.

The Edina Community Foundation was created to advance our community as a premier place for living, learning, raising families and nurturing leadership through the development of a strong program of philanthropy.
