Roseville Area Community Foundation

The Roseville Area Community Foundation was established by an agreement between the city of Roseville, Minnesota and the North Suburban Community Foundation, a Minnesota non-profit corporation, in 1991. The Roseville Area Community Foundation distributes a portion of profits from lawful gambling on behalf of the City Council.

The Foundation welcomes requests from Independent School District #623 staff as well as a variety of local direct-service community organizations, like those that provide youth programs, counseling, food, and enrichment activities such as participatory arts programs or gatherings. The Foundation funds events, programs, and projects for people living in the city of Roseville or the geographic boundaries of ISD #623 and will support non-profits located in Roseville, MN.

“We at Keystone are grateful for our longstanding partnership with the Roseville Area Community Foundation. We have a shared commitment to supporting low-income seniors, families and the greater community. Funding from RACF helps Keystone fight hunger and isolation, providing Roseville area neighbors with food, resources, and connection.”

– Julia McCarthy, Director of Programs at Keystone Community Services

"Without support from the Grant Fund, it would be difficult to keep our student costs as low as we do. We remain one of, if not the lowest cost high school programs in our section. I'm sure this has helped keep more kids involved with this activity as they reach their high school years."
