We work tirelessly addressing rural poverty, ensuring our youth thrive, building vibrant communities and providing innovative rural nonprofit leadership. But to continue our vital work, we need your monetary support. Your gift is a powerful investment in hope. We offer a secure online giving form for your gift giving.

In-Kind Donations

In addition to monetary gifts, gift-in-kind donations help support TrueNorth and aides those we serve. Non-perishable food or personal care items are welcome. If you wish to donate such items to TrueNorth, please call us in advance so that we may make any necessary arrangements. Additionally, many businesses support TrueNorth through gift-in-kind donations to specific fundraising events. By providing merchandise or services, businesses publicly show their care and concern for the communities in which they do business while also increasing awareness of their brand, product or service.
