For Steve Kent, helping his community has always been second nature. From mowing neighbors’ lawns as a kid to volunteering across North Dakota, Steve’s lifelong commitment to giving back continues to make a difference. “I believe in being a good neighbor,” said Steve. “It makes me feel good when I can help someone.” In recent years, Steve has become a champion for our work. As a former board member, he helped guide initiatives that strengthen our region and promote generosity across the 82 communities we serve.
