Being part of the North Dakota Community Foundation means we can help donors give in many different ways, not just through cash gifts.

If you’re 70.5 or older, you can make a gift of up to $108,000 directly from your IRA to the North Dakota Community Foundation for the benefit of the Kenmare Area Community Foundation. It’s an easy way to support local projects while using a tool you may already have in place.

Your generosity makes a lasting difference in our community. Connect with us anytime to explore your options. www.NDCF.net/Kenmare.

Grants from the fund will go to local and regional entities assisting in response and recovery efforts. NDCF will consult with local emergency management to determine the best use of the funds and avoid duplication of other recovery resources.

NDCF has established the ND June 2025 Storm Relief Fund at the request of the ND Department of Emergency Services. If you would like to make a donation to support entities assisting in the response to and recovery from the damage caused by this widespread storm event, go to https://ndcf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=10140. There are also other local efforts to assist those most impacted by the storms. Photo of tornado near Spiritwood, North Dakota on 6/20/2025 by Storm Chaser Ben McHone.

Thanks to a 2024 grant from the Kenmare Area Community Foundation, the Kenmare High School Track & Field team now has three brand new throwing rings: two for discus and one for shot put, built right here in town by a local contractor.

After years of practicing on an old asphalt basketball court, these concrete throwing rings are a total game changer for the program. In just the past two years, Kenmare athletes have made 21 appearances at the state track meet. With these new facilities, the future looks even brighter.

What’s even more inspiring? These student-athletes aren’t just putting in work on the field. They’ve been giving back, volunteering with local groups like the Kenmare Park Board and learning the value of being active community members.

We’re proud to support projects like this that build both skills and character. Thank you to our donors for making it possible!
