ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Our Team
The Black River Falls Area Foundation is guided by a dedicated Board of Trustees and staff who share a commitment to strengthening Jackson County.
Leadership Rooted in Community
The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the Black River Falls Area Foundation. It is responsible for overseeing the investment of donor funds and the distribution of grants in accordance with donors’ wishes. Trustees serve without compensation and are selected because of their judgment, integrity, community involvement, and understanding of philanthropic needs. They serve four-year terms. One officer position is up for election each year.
