Overarching the Foundation’s programs and initiatives are three intersecting Strategic Focus Areas: Children & Youth, Individual & Community Wellbeing, and Economy & Jobs. Through grantmaking, an operating program, business lending and technical assistance, and special initiatives, they help people and communities in our region to move forward together. Visit the Northland Foundation on their official website! Northland Foundation's office is on the 8th floor of the Sellwood Building in downtown Duluth, but most of their staff team work hybrid or remotely.
