Event Details

The Northwest Minnesota Foundation (NMF) is embarking on a significant new chapter with the launch of its new Strategic Framework, People & Connections.

At its heart, People & Connections reflects what matters most: strengthening relationships, investing in neighbors, and working side by side to build stronger communities.

Strategic planning gives us the structure and clarity to move from big ideas to real impact. It helps us stay focused, make thoughtful choices, and align our efforts around what matters most. By aligning around shared priorities, the framework provides a clear roadmap for turning big ideas into real impact.

NMF invites volunteers, partners, local leaders, and community members to come learn more about the new framework at one of five Lunch and Learn events planned throughout the region. 

For more information, please email info@nwmf.org
