Success Stories
The Owatonna Foundation has made and continues to
make major contributions to the welfare
of our community. To meet the ever-changing needs of the community,
The Foundation has helped with grants to various support groups for capital
purchases and improvements. Each year the Owatonna Foundation receives and
evaluates requests for funding that touch every aspect of our lives
from cultural to recreational, literary to scientific, and health to
education.

One of the very first projects undertaken was to acquire land along the
Straight River. The Foundation board had the foresight to
visualize a beautiful wooded parkway encompassing a five mile nature trailway, swimming beach, fishing area and a host of summer and winter
sports all wrapped up in what we know, 30 years later, as the Kaplan's
Woods Parkway.
In other cases, the Foundation pledged funding which attracted major
support from the community. Please read about some of our projects
