EPCF - Give to the Max Day 2026

Every day in Eden Prairie, neighbors face challenges many of us never see. Children miss opportunities, families struggle to make ends meet, and local nonprofits stretch limited resources to meet growing needs.

Because of supporters like you, lives changed this year.

Javier, a first-generation college student, received a $20,000 scholarship and is now pursuing his dream of becoming an immigration lawyer. Forty-five local children participated in sports and activities through scholarships that removed financial barriers. Six siblings took their very first swimming lessons together, gaining a skill that could one day save their lives. And a local woman living with a disability regained independence through a service dog funded by one of our community grants.

These stories are possible because of people like you.

But the need continues to grow. This year, local nonprofits requested $285,000 in funding from the Eden Prairie Community Foundation. We were able to award $132,000 in grants, leaving more than $153,000 in community needs unmet.

That's why we're asking for your support on Give to the Max Day.

Your gift helps provide scholarships, support local nonprofits, and fund programs that make Eden Prairie stronger, safer, and more connected. Every dollar stays right here in our community and directly impacts the lives of our neighbors.

Will you help us reach our Give to the Max Day goal of $1,500?

• What can we do with $1,500?
  • Provide swimming lessons for 10 children
  • Supports 3 free Lunch & Learns for 30+nonprofit leaders
  • Helps fund community grant projects that impact over 9,000 neighbors in causes including food insecurity, housing, arts, sports & recreation, education, disability services, senior services, and MORE. 

One gift. Multiple causes. A stronger Eden Prairie starts with you.

Thank you for helping create opportunities, strengthen local nonprofits, and ensure Eden Prairie remains a community where everyone can thrive.

With gratitude,

Emily Orr
Executive Director
Eden Prairie Community Foundation
