Summary
The board was asked to accept 11 gifts totaling $4,050 to schools and programs and 91 gifts totaling $297,136.78 to the Ralph Raider Food Shelf, including a $98,000 corporate matching gift and a nearly $36,000 bequest from a former employee.
The Mounds View School District reported gifts received during the period that together total $301,186.78 and recommended that the board accept the donations.
The district recorded 11 gifts for schools and programs totaling $4,050 and 91 gifts to the Ralph Raider Food Shelf totaling $297,136.78. The report highlighted a $98,000 matching donation from Bell Lumber and an estate gift “just under $36,000” from former district employee Donna Bruno, who included the food shelf in her estate planning after her death in February 2024.
The gifts were presented to the board and recommended for acceptance. The transcript indicates the consent agenda — which included routine items such as gifts — was later approved by the board during the meeting.
Board materials recommended extending thanks to donors and incorporating the gifts into district and food-shelf operations as designated by each gift.
