Advocacy

Advocacy training aims to amplify local voices in legislative process

Community and economic development professionals from across the region gathered in Bemidji this winter to build confidence and sharpen their advocacy skills ahead of the 2025 legislative session.

$100,000 in grants awarded to Northwest Minnesota organizations to support welcoming & inclusion

Seven organizations in Crookston, Thief River Falls, Roseau, and Bemidji received a combined $100,000 in funding to support welcoming and inclusion efforts in their communities.

Advocacy efforts spark policy change

The Northwest Minnesota Foundation has actively engaged in public policy with intent the last few years. Although it is not a major part of the Foundation’s overall activity, those advocacy efforts recently paid off in a big way.
