Hallberg Family Foundation

The Hallberg Family Foundation was started in 2000 to support our local community. Some of the ways we have shown support are by contributing to scholarship funds, athletics, performing arts, youth church ministries, fire and police department needs, and many other community organizations. Our primary focus is contributing to organizations in and around Forest Lake and Wyoming.

Each year the Hallberg Family Foundation provides $50,000+ of scholarships to Forest Lake graduates through the Forest Lake Area Community Scholarship Foundation. Since its origin, the Hallberg Family Foundation has given over $2,200,000 in total donations to local organizations.
