The Clabaugh Legacy Foundation was established to honor the life and entrepreneurial spirit of Karen Knudtson — and to ensure that the nonprofits doing the most important work in our communities have the structural support they need to endure.
Karen Knudtson spent 33 years building Knudtson Tax Service and co-founded a real estate company — not because she chased recognition, but because she believed in the dignity of doing good work and building something that mattered. She was an entrepreneur, a mother, and a model of quiet strength. This foundation carries her name because it carries her values: stewardship, community, and legacy built one careful decision at a time.
Funding Nonprofit Organizational Health Reviews for organizations that need structural clarity but lack the resources to access it. Stronger nonprofits build stronger communities.
Helping nonprofits responsibly adopt AI tools that extend their capacity, reduce administrative burden, and free their teams to focus on mission-driven work.
