What Grafton Parks & Recreation Foundation does
Mission
Improve the quality of life in Grafton, ND by improving the quality of Grafton Parks & Recreation's parks, facilities, and program equipment.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Fundraising for a new outdoor pool to replace the 70-year-old failing outdoor pool. A facility development company was hired to determine the feasibility of an indoor aquatic fitness facility. A local engineering firm was hired to develop the outdoor pool design and determine the best building location for the new pool. A nonprofit project & fund development consultant was hired to obtain major gifts and organize philanthropic opportunities. Revenues were from individual donations, business donations, Grafton Park Board (d.b.a. Grafton Parks & Recreation) donation to partially fund the indoor aquatic fitness facility study, and a 1/4% Grafton sales tax that sunsets in 2044.

From the IRS filings of GRAFTON PARKS & RECREATION FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of GRAFTON PARKS & RECREATION FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $90 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
