The We B Giving Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on large capital projects that create public benefit, primarily funding construction and landscape improvements. Most dollars have gone to a single institutional partner (NDSU Foundation) for a sports complex, with the remainder supporting municipal landscape/park work, indicating a preference for visible, place‑based infrastructure investments in civic and educational settings.
A defining feature of We B Giving Foundation Agency 1045003902 is its sustained support for a sports complex at North Dakota State University. The foundation awarded $1,500,000 in 2023, another $1,500,000 in 2024, and $1,501,000 in 2025 to NDSU Foundation for building the complex, showing a multi-year commitment to a single capital project. That pattern sits alongside smaller but still project-oriented grants to public and educational institutions. In Albany, Minnesota, the foundation backed a landscape project in multiple years, including $75,000 in 2023, $200,000 in 2024, and $250,000 in 2025 to the City of Albany. It also funded environmental work through Parks Forever Inc in Cold Spring, Minnesota, and educational support to Albany Area Schools and St Johns School of Theology and Seminary. The foundation’s giving profile points to construction, grounds development, and other place-based improvements rather than broad program portfolios. Its recent grants also include sponsorship support for NDSU Team Makers tied to the Bison Golf Open, indicating occasional event-related giving within the same institutional orbit.
In sports and recreation infrastructure, the foundation gave $1,501,000 in 2025 to NDSU Foundation for building of sports complex, following similar awards in prior years. For municipal landscape work, it supported the City of Albany with $250,000 in 2025 for a landscape project, after grants of $200,000 in 2024 and $75,000 in 2023 for the same purpose. Environmental and green-space support appears in a $100,000 grant to Parks Forever Inc in Cold Spring, Minnesota, for environmental work. Education also appears in smaller awards, including $50,000 to Central MN Elite Wrestling in Avon for education and $10,000 to SJUSOTSem in Collegeville for education. The foundation’s grant record shows that capital and place-based projects sit alongside selected educational and environmental gifts.
Typical grants sit at a wide range: the 25th percentile is $2,500, the median is $16,000, and the 75th percentile is $100,000. The recent record also shows several very large capital gifts, but most awards are much smaller than the flagship sports-complex funding. Recurring support is visible: NDSU Foundation appears in three consecutive years, the City of Albany appears across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and NDSU Team Makers received sponsorship grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments. Its giving is regional rather than national, with a narrow, project-based pattern.
