About the Wilder Foundation
Our Vision
The Wilder Foundation is here for good! The Foundation’s vision for the greater
Saint Paul area is that it will be a vibrant community where all individuals, families
and neighborhoods can prosper, with opportunities to work, to be engaged in
their communities, to live in decent housing, to attend good schools and to
receive support during times of need.

The Amherst H. Wilder Foundation is a nonprofit
health and human services organization that has
served the greater Saint Paul, Minnesota area since
1906. The Foundation offers a wide range of programs
and services to help children succeed in school,
troubled youth and families overcome barriers to
successful living, individuals and families maintain
stable, long-term housing, and older adults remain
independent. Wilder leadership development programs
work to build skills of emerging community leaders and
renew the energy and commitment of experienced
leaders. Wilder Research is one of the nation’s largest
nonprofit research and evaluation centers dedicated
to the field of human services.
Our Mission
Amherst H. Wilder, a wealthy Saint Paul businessman,
his wife, Fanny and their daughter Cornelia Day Wilder
Appleby created the Foundation in 1906, funded by
$2.6 million in trusts left by the family. Their wishes
have been carried out for over 100 years, fulfilling
the following mission:
AMHERST H. WILDER

Our Values
To accomplish our stated mission, Wilder is committed to being responsive,
innovative and effective. We will meet that commitment by:
listening, communicating and engaging respectfully;

The mission of the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation
is to promote the social welfare of persons resident
or located in the greater Saint Paul metropolitan
area by all appropriate means including:
Relief of the poor
Care of the sick and aged
Care and nurture of children
Aid of the disadvantaged and otherwise needy
Promotion of physical and mental health
Support of rehabilitation and corrections
Provision of needed housing and social services
›

And, in general, “the conservation of human
resources by the provision of human services
responsive to the welfare needs of the community,
all without regard to, or discrimination on account
of, nationality, sex, color, religious scruples or
prejudices.”
For 102 years, Wilder has worked to
fulfill the social, emotional and living
needs of Saint Paul’s most vulnerable
people. Our annual report theme this
year is “in touch with the need,”
because after 102 years of serving
Saint Paul, we’ve learned that you
can’t serve the community without
first understanding it.
The carved stone “word band”
encircling the newly constructed
Wilder Center captures that
understanding through words from
the Wilder family wills. Those words
demonstrate how Wilder is and has
been in touch with the growing needs
of Saint Paul, based on a mission that’s
been cultivated for the past century,
a mission to support individuals and
families in attaining quality housing;
to nurture and prepare children and
families for success; to honor and
improve the quality of life for elders;
and to develop the knowledge and
leadership that inspires progress.
3
Wilder programs and services are
designed to grow with community
challenges and circumstances, thereby
always remaining in touch with those
who need us most.

Youth Leadership Initiative
The Youth Leadership
Initiative (YLI) is a
multicultural program designed
to help youth develop strong,
effective leadership skills to work
in diverse community settings.
The program assists youth in
learning about themselves,
working with others, and
engaging in meaningful action.
4
YLI is part of Wilder Center
for Communities, which
works with individuals of
all ages to strengthen civic
engagement and community
leadership by nurturing and
building the skills of emerging
leaders, and renewing the
energy and commitment
of experienced leaders.
The success of young people is a
primary focus for Wilder. Our Youth
Leadership Initiative (YLI) develops
strong personal skills as participants
work with others to make positive,
meaningful contributions to their
communities.
For Charissa, 16, YLI was the impetus
she needed to face her problems and
start believing in herself. Since joining
YLI, Charissa has learned the value
of giving back and the importance
of stepping up as a leader.
In touch with tomorrow’s leaders.
She now uses her voice and knowledge
to effect community change, and is an
advocate for youth who struggle with
similar backgrounds and cultures.
“I do believe that I can make a
difference in my community,” said
Charissa. “I want every child to grow
up believing in him or herself.”

Home Health Agency. George, 89,
has been living independently for three
years after suffering a stroke. His Home
Health Nurse, Sue, visits every two
weeks to organize his medicine, check
his blood pressure and arrange what
needs taking care of.
“Sue does everything I need and I’m
lucky to have her as a consistent help,”
said George. “I don’t know how I’d
keep living here without her.”
An avid sports enthusiast in his youth,
George helped establish many high
school sports leagues around the
Twin Cities and is a neighborhood
institution. Without Wilder’s home
health services, a loving group of
friends and strong community support,
George’s independent lifestyle would
not be possible.

Home Health Agency
Wilder offers one of the area’s
oldest and most respected home
health care agencies, and its
ongoing quality assurance plan
helps ensure that it retains the
highest of standards. Wilder has
been providing safe, reliable and
compassionate in-home health
care to Saint Paul’s older adults
for more than 20 years.
The Home Health Agency
is part of Wilder’s Community
Services for the Elderly, which
serves thousands of people
each year. Wilder’s services help
provide the chance for these
clients to live with independence
and dignity, and to remain active
in their own communities. For
family caregivers, it can bring
peace of mind knowing that
their loved ones are receiving
quality care and services.

Bush Memorial
Children’s Center

Bush Memorial Children’s
Center provides residential
treatment and an on-site school
for children ages 5 to 14 who
currently cannot live at home,
either because of their own
behaviors or because of abusive
or neglectful home situations.
Within a 24-hour-a-day
therapeutic environment, these
youth and their families work
toward a healthier, safer and
more productive future.
The Bush Center is part of
Wilder’s Children and Family
Services and is one of more than
a dozen Wilder programs that
assist children, families and
adults who are having serious
problems functioning in their
homes, schools and other
community settings.
Bush Memorial Children’s Center
is in touch with families and children
who cannot live at home because of
neglectful environments or their own
abusive behaviors. One of those
children is Hannah, 8, who suffered
from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and
physical abuse from her biological
mother. Adopted at age three, her
new parents brought her to the Bush
Center after many other therapeutic
interventions failed.
Hannah and her family made excellent
progress in therapy sessions that
focused on helping Hannah reframe
her negative outlook, control her
tantrums, accept caring touch from her
parents, build trusting relationships,
and learn how to stay safe.
In touch with troubled youth.
Now back at home, Hannah and her
parents use the tools they’ve learned
to help Hannah feel safe, make friends,
and spend an entire day in the
classroom without incident.

Wilder Square Hi-Rise
Safe housing is a vital concern and
Wilder believes in affordable housing
solutions that provide support
for families and individuals.
In touch with affordable housing.
Wilder Square Hi-Rise offers
affordable housing for seniors and
families in need. Its oldest resident
is Henry, 101, a former associate
minister with a flair for poetry.
10
Henry spends his days drinking coffee,
visiting with his daughter and family,
and writing poetry, a passion he picked
up in high school, where his creative
writing teacher was the sister of
famed author Willa Cather.
Wilder Square has allowed Henry to
stay independent. “I get housekeeping
service, I get my apartment cleaned,
I get my washing done,” says Henry.
“I can still take care of my own
person, but Wilder helps me out
with day-to-day tasks.”
›
CONTINUED
Wilder Square Hi-Rise, a
Thomas-Dale neighborhood
landmark, has provided safe,
affordable housing for seniors
since 1974. Since 2005, in
addition to seniors, one- and
two-bedroom units are now
also available to young adults
and families.
Wilder Square Hi-Rise is part
of Wilder’s Supportive Housing
and Employment Services,
which is one of the area’s
largest providers of affordable
housing, with nearly 1,200
owned or managed units in
greater Saint Paul. Wilder’s
supportive housing team
works with area communities
to increase affordable housing
options, support low income
individuals and families with
housing needs, and develop
innovative housing solutions.
Wilder believes that effective,
affordable housing solutions
include not only a decent place
to live, but also providing the
supportive services necessary
to help people gain and retain
long-term, stable housing.

JobsFirst
12
JobsFirst is an innovative
program funded by the
Minnesota Department of
Corrections and implemented by
the Wilder Foundation. It serves
offenders residing in, or being
released from, correctional
institutions in Central Minnesota.
The purpose of the program
is to increase public safety
and decrease recidivism by
helping persons with criminal
backgrounds find and keep
gainful employment.
JobsFirst’s innovative
programming and services
are also a part of Wilder’s
Supportive Housing and
Employment Services
(as described on page 11).
Stability is often not familiar for those
exiting the corrections system. Through
JobsFirst, Wilder strives to make that
transition to stability possible.
In touch with transition.
In 2006, Nina came to the JobsFirst
Job Club after her release from prison.
She had very little work history and
had never held a job for more than
a few months. At Job Club, she
enhanced her interview skills,
developed computer literacy,
updated her resume and learned
to talk about her past mistakes.
Now successfully employed for more
than two years as a manager at a
catering company in Saint Paul, she
credits the work of JobsFirst. In the
coming year, she aims to continue her
education by learning data entry skills
and then applying those skills at work.
Her advice to people starting over is
“Don’t give up. Somebody somewhere
is going to be willing to give you a
chance.”

Making wise, effective spending choices

Return on Investment (ROI) studies
In touch with effective solutions.
conducted by Wilder Research. ROI
studies can serve as a tool to identify
the financial impact of nonprofit
programs and to prioritize where
to invest financial resources.
14
For example, Scott Beaty, executive
director of Minnesota Youth
Intervention Programs Association
(YIPA), wanted to measure the effects
of programs that counsel and redirect
young people involved in truancy
or criminal behavior. Paul Anton,
chief economist at Wilder Research,
working with Professor Judy Temple,
University of Minnesota, developed
an ROI framework and estimated a
well-run early intervention program
can yield $4.89 in benefit for every
dollar invested. The State of Minnesota
increased its funding for YIPA by
45 percent after the study was
published.
›
CONTINUED
Return on Investment
Return on Investment (ROI)
studies can serve as a tool
for understanding whether
programs that seem to make
a difference in the lives of
people and communities also
have financial benefits. ROI
studies examine programs (or
policies) that have demonstrated
positive impacts. They total the
costs of a program, estimate
the dollar and cents value of
the program’s outcomes, and
then compare them. In an era
of scarce resources, today’s
taxpayers, policymakers,
philanthropists, and all of us
who care about our community
need ROI studies to help us
make wise spending choices.
Return on Investment is one
way Wilder Research provides
greater understanding of our
community, its needs and
possible solutions. Wilder
Research, one of the nation’s
largest nonprofit research and
evaluation groups dedicated
to practical research in the field
of human services, works with
more than 100 organizations
each year.

Community Gatherings
One of the primary design goals
for the new Wilder Center
was to develop a community
hub, where individuals and
organizations could come
together to work on important
community issues.
16
The Amherst H. Wilder
Auditorium at Wilder Center
provides this opportunity,
with meeting space that can
accommodate community
groups of up to 300 people.
Since opening in January 2008,
Wilder Center has hosted more
than 17,000 visitors, with more
than 4,000 attending formal
convening events.
Since January 2008, many outside
organizations and community groups
have used Wilder Center’s convening
space for a variety of purposes,
including Saint Paul’s State of the City
Address; the Governor’s Summit on
Afterschool Programs; Minnesota
Council on Foundations; Saint Paul
Public Schools; Rock-Tenn Community
Advisory Panel; Met Council; Walker
West Fundraiser; and a HealthPartners
BioEthics Conference. More than
4,000 people have attended events
at Wilder Center to discuss important
community issues.
In touch with community answers.
A recent event, pictured here, featured
a HealthPartners conference on health
care reform. The event brought national
speakers and health professionals from
around the state of Minnesota to discuss
how current ethical issues relate to
health care reform.
The Wilder Foundation is proud that
Wilder Center has so quickly become
a premier Saint Paul gathering point
to work on vital community issues.

Board of Directors
Wilder’s broad experience in research,
services and convening keeps us in touch
with the needs of the East Metro. Those
needs have never been stronger. In the
year to come, Wilder will remain focused
on how to best achieve the mission that
the Wilder family envisioned. It is for this
reason that Wilder is committed to this
community’s strongest needs – respecting
the contributions of the past by caring
for seniors, preserving the stability of the
present by serving families at particularly
vulnerable times, and ensuring the future
by nurturing youth and children.

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.
