Support local charities
Giving can be a powerful way to support the causes and places most important to you and at the same time wisely manage your own resources. It also makes the work of Southwest Initiative Foundation possible, allowing us to support families, businesses and communities who call southwest Minnesota “home.”
“Because we see every day what Southwest Initiative Foundation has done in our communities, that makes it easy to give. What you’re doing at SWIF is important and we support it.”
Rob and Renae Saunders, donors
