Southwest Initiative Foundation staff celebrated giving back as we helped build a Habitat for Humanity house to support a family in our headquarter community of Hutchinson.
This volunteer day marks the end of our year-long staff giving campaign, which went through the roof for fiscal year 2016! Each year, we make personal contributions to our general endowment, which supports work with entrepreneurs, young kids, community groups and donors throughout our 18-county southwest Minnesota region.
Since July 1, 2015, staff have donated $11,532.38. We have 100 percent of staff who give and six staff and their spouses are Growing Home Circle members. We truly believe we’re making a difference through our work–and are willing to put our money where our mouth is.
We’d love for others to support our work and “build” our endowment, too! Consider making a donation before June 30, the end of our fiscal year. You can make your gift online, mail a check, or give us a call with questions about how to make other types of gifts.
And, we encourage you to look for volunteer opportunities right in your own community. There are so many ways we can make a difference!
