THE 1006 SOCIETY

who WE ARE

The 1006 Summit Avenue Society is a non-profit fundraising organization dedicated to preserving the grace and beauty of the Minnesota Governor’s Residence.

Founded in the 1982 by the former First Lady Gretchen Quie, the 1006 Summit Avenue Society has donated items to the Minnesota Governor’s Residence totaling more than three quarters of a million dollars. Our model for fundraising and support has been used successfully by other Governor’s Residences throughout the country and we are proud to be a vital and growing organization.

The 1006 mission joins ongoing efforts to sustain the iconic elegance of our state treasure as it welcomes dignitaries and visitors from around the word.
