Our History

Founded in 1989 by Mary Caroline “Twink” Frey, Nokomis Foundation provides expertise, funding and networking to create a stronger voice for women and girls.

We recently completed our renewal process, which celebrated our first 15 years, affirmed our partnerships, and empowered us to grow more strategically.
