Wesely John T. Westrom Leonard H. Wilkening Jerry F. Woelfel and Becky Garthofner Ann Wynia The dream was to construct a highly visible and accessible center for expanded program services delivery, research and public convening. To help make the dream a reality, Wilder launched its first-ever capital campaign in 2005, with a goal of raising $10.4 million to assist in the construction of the 100,000 square foot Wilder Center at University Avenue and Lexington Parkway in Saint Paul. In June 2008, the campaign surpassed its goal and received a prestigious Kresge Foundation Capital Challenge Grant of $750,000. After 100 years of relying on funding its programs and services primarily from the Wilder family endowment established in 1906, the Second Century Capital Campaign signaled to the community the Wilder Foundation needed support to continue its mission of serving the community’s most vulnerable citizens. Over 100 individuals, families, foundations, businesses and corporations responded, generously investing in Wilder’s second century of services to the East Metro area. Over 1,200 neighbors and friends attended Wilder Center’s public grand opening celebration in May 2008 (the peace pole installation ceremony pictured at right). The celebration showcased Wilder’s new “home,” which provides resources for expanded programs and services, research, outreach and policy leadership, as well as the potential for increased community partnerships and education in its convening space. The Wilder Foundation is profoundly grateful for the overwhelming response to its capital needs, and also very confident that Wilder Center will return countless dividends on the community’s investment for generations to come. 20 21
