We invite you to be part of the tradition of supporting Wilder and our work to serve the disadvantaged members of our community.
Wilder's programs were once supported almost wholly from the proceeds of trust funds left by the Amherst H. Wilder family in the early 1900s. Today, because of a century of increased costs and growing service needs, only 25 percent of our operating budget comes from Endowment fund earnings. We depend on the generosity of our donors to help us continue to meet the needs of Saint Paul's most vulnerable residents. More
