Do you work for a central Minnesota nonprofit, faith-based organization or community group that serves displaced workers and distressed families? The Initiative Foundation is offering new funding and training to support organizational planning and development.
Funded in part by a $1M grant from the U.S. Department of Health, the foundation’s Strengthening Communities Initiative was created to increase the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of nonprofits as they help address economic recovery issues.
More than 80 nonprofits will receive training, technical assistance and grants of up to $15,000 to support economic recovery and poverty-reduction efforts, such as helping people secure and retain employment, earn higher wages, and access government benefits and tax credits.
To learn more, attend one of three identical informational sessions:
- February 3 – (8-10:30 a.m.) at Lakes and Pines Community Action Council, Mora
- February 3 – (12:30-3 p.m.) at St. Cloud Library, Bremer Room
- February 5 – (9-11:30 a.m.) at Bremer Bank, Campbell Room, downtown Brainerd
Pre-registration is not required. For more information visit www.ifound.org or contact Tricia at tholig@ifound.org, 320-631-2003.
