The Saint Paul Foundation is encouraging Minnesotans who wish to help the families and communities affected by the nation's terrorist attacks to make contributions to a special September 11th Fund established at the foundation. The funds will provide immediate support to established emergency assistance agencies, such as the American Red Cross. They will also mobilize financial resources to respond to the pressing needs of the victims, their families and all those affected by the tragedy. The Saint Paul Foundation seeded the fund with $25,000.

All donations will be forwarded to the national fund of the same name created by the United Way of New York City and The New York Community Trust, a sister community foundation of The Saint Paul Foundation.

Contributions can be sent to:
