Ways to Give
Beyond a one-time gift, there are many ways to leave a lasting impact — an endowment, a scholarship, a memorial fund, a grant, your time, or your employer's match.

Memorial Funds
Memorial funds are a way to turn your loss into something positive and at the same time, keep your loved one’s memory alive. Their legacy can live on and enhance the lives of our community through the designated area of support within the Grand Forks Park District – i.e. baseball fields, hockey programs, senior fitness, etc.
