Community Fund
Thank you for considering making a donation to the Moorhead Community Fund. Your support provides opportunities for youth scholarships, community projects and amenities. Donations to the Moorhead Community Fund are tax-deductible and 100% of the donations go to the scholarship or project selected.
The City Partners with the FM Area Foundation (FMAF) to support important projects for our community. Donors who would like to support projects are able to give on the FM Area Foundation website.
A Wish Book has been created to illustrate potential projects and activities that will help in Building a Community Legacy. Donors may choose to support specific activities or the more general categories also noted below. Thank you from the City of Moorhead for your consideration of these community amenities, facilities, and activities!

"A new Community Center Library will serve as the cornerstone of downtown redevelopment and give our citizens a gathering place and information space for generations to come." – Mayor Shelly Carlson |

Moorhead was selected by the National Parks Service to receive an “Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership” Program grant – one of five awards nationally. The $5 million grant will be matched by City funds and used to replace the community swimming pool and add other fun and modern recreational amenities to Romkey Park as proposed in the Reimagine Romkey plan. An amenity that is shown but has not been funded at this point is the splashpad. Donations are needed for this amenity to be included in the project. |

Both need amenities that would enhance the park for users, such as benches, trees, agility equipment, signage, additional lighting for winter months, etc. Total project cost for the added amenities would be $25,000 for each location. |
