A Decade of Serving Hudson
The fund got started with a grant from the Bremer Foundation that would give the HCF $20,000 if it raised $10,000. First National Bank donated $10,000 and Heiser, along with others including past presidents Sam Cari and Susie Gilbert, raised the matching funds and then some to create HCF.
“With the fund, everybody can be a philanthropist. You don’t need to have $50,000 or $100,000 to begin making a difference, and you don’t have to worry about all the paperwork and management of it. You can start with something far less and build it over time. And it allows for generations of a family to get directly involved in a legacy of giving,” said Heiser.
