Golden Bear Foundation

The Eveleth-Gilbert Golden Bear Foundation believes in bringing our alumni and friends together to support today's students. 

Our mission is to support and augment the students of the former Eveleth-Gilbert School District and new Rock Ridge School District in Arts, Academics, and Athletics. 

Our foundation was established in 2019. Since then we have raised over $175,000. In 2021 we created a legacy fund and endowed $50,000 through the Eveleth Area Foundation. This will help to ensure our future generations will be supported. 

We have supported over 20 different groups over that last 4 years through grants that support a variety of areas with in the school districts. 

We were created because we care about investing in the future talent of the Iron Range. We hope you will join us in supporting the needs of the students in Northern Minnesota.
