Meet Dean & Sandy

Dean and Sandy live in the Twin Cities and have been married for more than 20 years. Both are active community volunteers now that they’re semi-retired, and they’re also enjoying being able to travel and spend time with friends and family. Neither Dean nor Sandy grew up with wealth, yet they feel they grew up with strong values and were fortunate. That led them to want to help others.

Creating the Fund

Dean and Sandy created a fund at the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation to help them give back to the community now, and they also have included the Foundation in their will. While their family is provided for in their estate plan, they want the remainder to support the causes and nonprofits they care about—forever.

Ensuring a Legacy

Sandy and Dean find value in the Foundation’s services today, and they trust the Foundation to help them support the community they care about in perpetuity.
