The Northwest Minnesota Foundation is now accepting grant applications to promote equity-focused welcoming and inclusion initiatives, leading to more welcoming communities in the region.
Efforts should be intentionally focused on improving the inclusion of newcomers and/or underrepresented community members. Initiatives should result in a stronger culture and policy environment where all residents feel empowered to work with each other in strengthening the social, civic, and economic fabric.
Grants may fund cultural diversity education and awareness initiatives, trainings, community events, collaborative work, technical assistance, travel, or other efforts as defined by the applicant that advance welcoming communities, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Eligible applicants are non-profits, governmental, and public organizations located within the Northwest Minnesota Foundation service area that includes Red Lake Nation, White Earth Nation, and 12 counties (Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake Falls, and Roseau).
Grant applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, until funds are exhausted.
Details on the grant application can be found on the Grants page on the NMF website, www.nwmf.org
