1 Asset Building Grants Investing in community initiatives that make our region a better place to live and work What is a thriving community? Is it a place that is rich in culture and has good paying jobs that attract motivated, bright people? Is it a place where there s a sense of belonging among all members of the community? Northwest Minnesota Foundation works to support this vision of a thriving community. The Asset Building Grants program helps nonprofits and public agencies grow and adapt to the changing environment in which they operate. Among the many possibilities, our grants could help develop a new program to serve at-risk youth, support planning activities to address changing community needs, or demonstrate viable alternative energy projects in our region. Northwest Minnesota Foundation awards grants only to organizations located and/or conducting activities in our 12-county service area (i.e. Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau, Red Lake Reservation and White Earth Reservation). Applicants must be public agencies, local government units, or private nonprofits with a 501(c)(3) federal tax-exempt status rd St. NW Bemidji, MN phone MN Only

4 Creating Quality of Place Our Mission The Northwest Minnesota Foundation invests resources, facilitates collaboration, and promotes philanthropy to make the region a better place to live and work. Our Vision Northwest Minnesota will be a place where communities and people work together to foster opportunity, promote philanthropy, and enrich the lives of all residents. Quality of Place We have adopted a concept called Quality of Place, which we use to focus our resources on meeting the needs of our rural region. Quality of Place is something all communities will need to be successful in the future. It is found in the four areas highlighted in this brochure: structural, natural, social, and economic assets.

5 Nonprofit Excellence Program Healthy nonprofits lead to healthier communities. Strengthening leadership at all levels is an important factor for a strong nonprofit community. Through training, assessment, and collaboration, nonprofits can achieve powerful results and can better serve their constituents. We believe that building the capacity of nonprofits leads to long-term growth and sustainability, which is why we provide several development programs. The Northwest Minnesota Foundation serves 12 counties: Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau rd St. NW Bemidji, MN Phone MN Only
6 Nonprofit Excellence Program The Northwest Minnesota Foundation s Nonprofit Excellence Program strengthens the capabilities and capacity of the region s nonprofits so they can achieve their missions more efficiently. Nonprofit Organizational Excellence NMF is offering three steps in the Nonprofit Organizational Excellence Program. An organization may request one step or all three. For more information about any of the three steps or for scheduling, please contact Dawn Ganje. 1. Let NMF Be Your GPS: Learn the Pathway to a More Efficient Organization This workshop for executive directors and governing boards provides an opportunity for discovery and growth. This seminar will unite board members with various levels of experience to function as a unit and use their collective knowledge for the benefit of an organization. The workshop will help executive directors and governing boards understand the basic responsibilities of a nonprofit, the role of the board, board functions, and how to use resources offered by NMF. 2. Introduction of Capacity Development and Organizational Excellence Assessment During this meeting with an organization s governing board, the concepts of capacity development and organizational assessment will be presented and discussed. As organizations grow, age, and provide programs and services that are critical to the health and welfare of their community, revisiting their basic operations will help them pinpoint their current status and identify opportunities for increased efficiency and continued growth. 3. Organizational Excellence Assessment This two-day on-site assessment provides decision makers with important information about key functions of their nonprofit organization. This process is designed to disseminate information in a quick, dashboard manner so that it s easy to see an organization s starting point and identify the best way to accomplish their goals. Professional Excellence Program The Professional Excellence Program is for upper- and mid-level managers in the nonprofit sector. It includes training which is delivered in half-day or one-day workshops offered in locations around the 12-county region. Class sizes are limited. We share the nation s latest theories and best practices of effective organizations. Workshops include topics such as: Grant Writing Visioning and Strategic Planning Interpersonal Communication Fund Development Time Management Promotion and Media Relations Board and Governance Leadership Budgeting and Accounting Meeting Management and Facilitation Program Evaluation Conflict Management Skills Managing for Organizational Change Nonprofit Leader Transition Technical Assistance Nonprofit organizations and public agencies may request technical assistance when an executive director or agency director leaves the organization. The technical assistance will be in the form of a mentor or coach for the new director.

7 Early Childhood Initiative Investing in our children our future Investing in early childhood care and learning pays big dividends for communities and businesses. Scientific research confirms that children s earliest experiences dramatically affect their ability to succeed rd St. NW Bemidji, MN Phone MN Only
8 Working to build nurturing communities that help children thrive Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative Promoting high-quality early care and education for children from birth to age five Scientific research confirms that children s earliest experiences dramatically affect their ability to succeed. Unfortunately, every year about half of Minnesota s children enter kindergarten not fully prepared to succeed, according to recent studies by the Minnesota Department of Education. Supporting our children s development pays real dividends. Economists Art Rolnick and Rob Grunewald published a study showing every dollar spent on quality early childhood programs saves $7 in negative outcomes, including school failure, juvenile delinquency, special education, out of home placements, teen pregnancy, and welfare dependency. If you d like to donate to your local coalition, please contact NMF or visit our website to learn more. Our goal is to assist the early childhood coalitions in engaging their broader community in addressing needs in quality early care and education. Early Childhood Coalitions are located in: Park Rapids Bemidji Area Warroad Lake of the Woods Bagley Naytahwaush Thief River Falls Fertile-Beltrami Crookston Clearbrook/Gonvick Marshall County Norman County East Every $1 spent on quality early childhood programs saves $7 in negative outcomes... Did you know 90% of human brain development occurs between birth and age five? Children who participate in high-quality early education develop better language skills, score higher in school-readiness tests, and have better social skills and fewer behavioral problems once they enter school. Contact Northwest Minnesota Foundation at (218) to learn how you can become involved or donate to the Early Childhood Initiative. Minnesota Thrive Initiative Strengthening early childhood mental health services for young children and families The goals of the Northwest Minnesota Foundation and the Minnesota Thrive Initiative are to raise awareness of children s mental health needs between the ages of birth and five, determine existing services and gaps, and develop a network of services for families and young children to support healthy social and emotional development.

13 Youth Leadership: STAR Program Teaching Life Skills to Create Respectful Communities Students Teaching Attitudes of Respect (STAR) is a program funded by the Northwest Minnesota Foundation. It is offered to schools and organizations within the Foundation s 12-county region. Peacemaker Resources conducts the retreats and provides followup consultation to the STAR teams.

14 Youth Leadership: STAR Program Students Teaching Attitudes of Respect The Northwest Minnesota Foundation sponsors the STAR Team Program for youth leadership. Students Teaching Attitudes of Respect (STAR) is a program designed to increase students awareness in the areas of community building, media, specific skills needed to deal with conflict, and the utilization of personal power and strengths. The goal is to model and support a positive school culture. We believe that creating respectful communities and homes requires taking the time to learn necessary skills and integrating those skills into daily life. These skills are taught to teams of six students and an advisor from schools or sponsoring organizations in NMF s 12-county service area. How Does the STAR Program Work? Up to six teams attend a fall session and then host an on-site visit by STAR trainers in the winter. The two-day overnight sessions are held at Concordia Language Villages near Bemidji. The program is delivered by trainers from Peacemaker Resources. Assisting the trainers are the Youth Advocates, or YAs, who mentor and teach the 6th- and 7th-grade students as they go through the fall STAR Program training. They model respectful behavior and are present for the teachable moment to facilitate discussions and resolve differences. During the training STAR team members form relationships with students from other schools built on respect principles. Their leadership skills grow as they share lessons on the life skills learned in the trainings. The teams receive ongoing assistance from NMF through the year. Registration opens each year on July 1 for sessions that begin the following fall. Two or more sessions are held each year with six teams accepted for each session. We maintain a ratio of approximately two students per adult to ensure a positive, skill-building retreat. Students who participate in STAR Understand that they can contribute to the creation of a school environment that is safe and conducive to learning. Recognize that they have the power to make a positive difference in the world by teaching others. Gain confidence and leadership skills. Develop the attitude that peace skills are fun and cool. Become a role models for their peers. Get Involved Contact Northwest Minnesota Foundation at (218) to learn how you can become involved or donate to the STAR Program.
