Northern Lights Foundation

Raise money for Northern Lights Foundation

The purpose of the Northern Lights Foundation is to provide local families with a child (up to the age of 18) facing a life-threatening illness with financial support to use however they need during a very challenging emotional and financial time.


The Northern Lights Foundation was founded by Ken Larson in 2006 following the loss of his infant daughter, Nicole. Ken's vision was to create a children’s charity in Duluth, Minnesota to financially support local families with children facing life-threatening illnesses.

Over nearly two decades, the Foundation has raised more than $500,000 and issued grants to more than 200 families. The foundation's grants are unrestricted which means families can use the funds for whatever needs they may have.

On behalf of the children and families helped by the Foundation, we thank you for your generosity.
