The Listening Point Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit charitable organization, was established in 1998 and is dedicated to furthering Sigurd Olson's legacy of wilderness education, and preserving Listening Point, the rugged northern Minnesota lakeshore property.

Sigurd Olson created Listening Point in 1956 as a private retreat. It became widely known and celebrated after Alfred Knopf published Olson's book, "Listening Point" in 1956.

The Listening Point Foundation owns and cares for Listening Point, conducts visits for the interested public, publishes wilderness education materials, and sponsors wilderness educational programs.
