Purpose
The Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce Foundation exists to strengthen and enrich the St. Croix Valley through leadership, education, community partnerships, business support, arts, wellness, and signature events that bring people together.
Formed in 2021, the Foundation works alongside the Chamber to invest back into our communities by supporting initiatives that inspire connection, economic vitality, and community pride. From scholarships and workforce initiatives to veterans and first responder support, youth engagement, arts and cultural experiences, and signature events like the World Snow Celebration, the Foundation is committed to making a lasting impact across the valley.
The Foundation proudly leads and supports community-building programs and events including Leadership in the Valley, the Lumberjack Days Parade, and the Community Award Celebration Gala; all designed to celebrate leadership, honor community impact, foster civic engagement, and bring people together across generations.
We believe strong communities are built when businesses, nonprofits, schools, cities, and residents work together. Through collaboration, volunteerism, and innovative programming, the Foundation helps create opportunities that enhance quality of life and celebrates the St. Croix Valley.
