Description

The Amherst H. Wilder Foundation is a nonprofit health and human services organization that has served the greater Saint Paul, MN area since 1906. Wilder is not a grant-making foundation, but a public charity as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Wilder creates lasting, positive change rooted in people through direct services, research and community building. Last year we served more than 6,600 people through programs dedicated to family stability and mental health, engaged thousands more through community initiatives and worked with more than 150 organizations to produce 150+ evaluations and research reports that inform work toward the common good.

Working with the Wilder Foundation to translate housing materials into Spanish was a rewarding experience. I was happy to know I could help those in need during COVID-19, while working from home.

I have been volunteering with Amherst Wilder Foundation for 6 years and I find it interesting and fulfilling at the same time. This organization is well-managed and a positive force in our community. We are lucky to have them!

I have known of the Wilder Foundation, and the great things it does for the community, for many years. I have just today applied for volunteer work with this organization and hope to hear from them soon.

Although not associated with the Wilder Foundation, I have become aware, through somehistorical research, of the Wilder's Family's (esp. Fanny) dedication and generosity, to the indigent and needy of St. Paul/East Metro, for than 107 years. As Pioneering Minnesotans They andthe Foundation give true meaning to the words "Minnesota Nice"
