The Alex Stern Family Foundation, established in honor of Alex Stern, a prominent Fargo community leader and entrepreneur, supports nonprofits in the Fargo-Moorhead area across several key sectors: the arts, social welfare/human services, education, youth recreation, civic projects, and health issues. With its inception following the death of the last Stern family member in 1977, the Foundation began with assets over $1 million, growing to $10 million in its 43rd year, distributing over $16.5 million in grants. Grant rounds are conducted twice a year, in spring and fall, to enhance charitable and literary causes in Cass and Clay counties, commemorating the Stern family's success and contributions to the local community.
Grant renewed every year. Annual Fall deadline: August 1st.
