The MAF received an unexpected and deeply generous commitment from an anonymous donor to provide a $50,000 donation to the Wigington Fund, if fundraising of new dollars from others can match this amount. WE DID IT!
Created in 1992, this fund named to recognize Clarence “Cap” Wigington, the extraordinary professional and civic accomplishments of the first African American municipal architect in the United States and the first licensed African American architect in Minnesota. The Wigington Fund supports students of color who have a specific interest in pursuing a professional architecture degree leading toward becoming a registered architect.
