One conversation. One moment. One connection. They say that life is made up of moments, great and small.
So is our mission.
One grant to a child care provider. One investment in a business. One story of the hope someone felt when support arrived, and the world seemed a little brighter.
We have been thinking a lot about the power of one—and how seemingly small things, when combined and layered and magnified, add up to something pretty powerful.
This past COVID year has been long for many. And busy. Thanks to a vision that began with our founders back in 1986 and powerful partnerships built over 35 years, Southwest Initiative Foundation has infused over $15 million into southwest Minnesota businesses, nonprofit organizations and schools.
Behind every dollar from Southwest Initiative Foundation is a person, a real person who felt hope after a moment of connection with our team.
We are honored to play this role because while much of the world around us paused, our mission to connect people, invest in ideas and build communities was activated—in a really big way.
And that is why we’re asking you to help us continue the good work with your gift now, as we close out our fiscal year on June 30.
Your passion and compassion help your southwest Minnesota neighbors face the challenges ahead. One person at a time. One business at a time. One organization at a time. And with one gift from you. Will you join us?
