Who We Are
Established in 2021, the TrueNorth Legacy Foundation furthers our commitment to being a community steward, value creator and advocate. This private foundation honors the philanthropic legacy of TrueNorth’s original founders, and encourages the continuation of their vision for many years to come.
Giving Pillars
We take pride in ensuring impactful gifts will be given to causes with TrueNorth colleague involvement and investment. This assures that we’re investing in the industries and causes our colleagues are most connected to and passionate about.
We support three key areas of impact:
• Wellspring Community, Print Shop Project Start Up
John Tursi, Executive Director Boys & Girls Club of the Corridor Unlocking the Future Capital Campaign
Join in.
As we consider the many ways our community and business partners are expressing interest in collaborating with the work of the TrueNorth Legacy Foundation, we’re o ering creative and collaborative opportunities to make a greater community impact together.
We invite you to join our commitment to transformational community giving.

A new facility will allow us to serve more teens and kids, to be open more often when kids need a safe place to be... and also provides a place for the community to use.

Board of Directors
Establishing a private foundation o ered a long-term investment strategy to assist with advancing philanthropic goals and fulfilling grants for larger capital-style campaigns within our thriving communities. The following TrueNorth colleagues have been appointed to the Board of Directors to help further the Legacy Foundation's mission:
• Kevin Welu Treasurer
• Amy Sauter Secretary
• Anne Parmley Director of Community Impact
• Mallory Mohwinkle
• Jason Smith
• Loren Coppock
• Duane Smith
• Chad Thurm
• Aaron Ellsworth
As we continue on our path of evolution, we must keep strategizing on our impact as a community partner and employer. We must continue to invest in and mature our giving alongside the company.
If we commit to those two things, then the work that our founders started 20 years ago, and the work we are doing today, will guarantee not only our legacy of impact as TrueNorth – it will ensure lasting legacies for our communities.
