Norman C. Skalicky Foundation
The Norman C. Skalicky Foundation (NCSF) was established in 1999 by Norman C. Skalicky, CEO of Stearns Financial Services, Inc. NCSF donates to charities and has challenged the community with matching fundraising campaigns for worldwide and national disasters and local community needs.
Over $1 million has been raised by the community and matched by the NCSF since the Foundation was established. It’s one of the ways Stearns Bank and its employee-owners give back to the communities they serve. Following is a brief description of the NCSF matching challenges:
Annual Community Charity Challenge for Food Shelves. Since the first community charity challenge in 2001, the Norman C. Skalicky Foundation has raised more than $600,000 for Central Minnesota food shelves.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Minnesota. The NCSF raised more than $500,000, matching that amount dollar for dollar, for the 2007 Eastside Boys & Girls Club’s building campaign. “The $500,000 gift is the largest gift received from an individual in our organization’s 33-year history, and we are just overwhelmed by Norm Skalicky’s generosity,” said Mark Sakry, executive director.
Central Minnesota Habitat For Humanity.One of the family homes was sponsored by the NCSF with a generous $107,000 grant, and the community raised over $214,000 to fund the other two with a dollar for every two donated challenge.
Hurricane Katrina Relief Effort. Over $236,000 was raised for the Central MN Responds campaign with NCSF matching $75,000 of the total. “The news reports continue to show us just how devastating this disaster was. I’m always impressed at the generous heart of Central Minnesotans and how we pull together at times like this to help,” Skalicky said.
2005 Tsunami Relief Effort.Over $282,000 was raised for the victims in South Asia with NCSF matching $100,000 of the total. Funds were divided among Kids Against Hunger to provide hunger packs, the Fishing Boat Project of the American Refugee Committee for coastal villages in Thailand, and SOS Children’s Villages to support camps in Sri Lanka and Southern India.
