The goal of Minden Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is to maintain a fund to provide charitable assistance, within the Minden area, primarily for those needs not specifically met by other charities or organizations. Some examples would be assisting a family that has suffered a house fire, a flood or a family stricken with a devastating illness that creates a financial hardship.
Monies are distributed by application only, and the group does not advertise. They seek input from ministers, principals and social workers regarding families in need. Decisions regarding disbursements are made by a board of not less than five persons. Current members of this board are Hodson Brown, Lindsay Collins, Zach Goodman, Patrick Miller, Jason Ogwyn, Andy Pendergrass, Kristin Utphall and Candi Wimberly
