The Annexstad Family Foundation

The Annexstad Family Foundation, established in 2000, was founded by Al and Cathy Annexstad and their family. Since its inception, the Foundation has helped more than 500 motivated students to pursue their dreams of a college education. The Annexstads believe that bright young people from backgrounds of personal and financial hardship are a tremendous resource of future leaders for America, and thus they have made it their mission to provide this opportunity to as many deserving young people as possible. Al and Cathy’s experiences growing up – the tragedy of each suddenly losing a parent, countered by the immense support from their small-town communities – have shaped their desire to help promising young people who have endured extraordinary hardships.
