Making a difference for families in need
The SFM Foundation is a nonprofit that helps families affected by workplace injuries by providing scholarships to children of workers disabled or killed in work-related accidents. The financial burden of putting a student through college is real. Add a catastrophic injury into the mix and affording college is an even bigger challenge. We help education be more affordable for these students and their families by offering multi-year post-secondary scholarships.
Events
Minnesota and Iowa’s governors proclaimed November 7-12, 2022 Kids’ Chance Awareness Week to raise awareness of how work injuries affect the entire families — especially injured workers’ kids.

“I will never forget the day my guidance counselor said ‘I think this scholarship is for you.’ I opened up the application and my mind was blown. I could not believe that something like this existed — that a group of people were giving kids like me a chance to become successful. I am just so incredibly thankful for every single one of you…I can’t even say that enough.”
