The Gorilla Yogi Foundation was founded by Nan Arundel, Jessica Rosenberg and Lisa Venticinque. Goal of the foundation is to make sure the money goes right back into the community, to do the greatest amount of good, dollar for dollar. They’ve continued to offer donation-based events in unexpected places all around the metro, gatherings in which every dollar contributed goes directly to a selected local charity.
Gorilla Yogi supports local organizations only. They usually select smaller organizations which will be thrilled with the thousand or so dollars they generate. Many nonprofits have benefited from the foundation to include Full Cycle, Free Arts Minnesota, Pillsbury United Communities, Sisters’ Camelot, and the Will Steger Foundation.
