Join us in Rewood, Lyon, Chippewa and Renville counties
For 25 years, the Southwest Initiative Foundation has been impacting communities, businesses, organizations and families in southwest Minnesota. As one of six regional funds founded by The McKnight Foundation in response to the 1980s economic crisis, SWIF was created to provide financial resources, creative leadership and most importantly, hope for a brighter future.
We’re celebrating our past, present and future by visiting each of our 18 counties during our anniversary year. Area constituents are invited to join our board members and staff to celebrate 25 years of opportunities, impact and growth in southwest Minnesota.
