Twenty-One New Resiliency Fund Grants Awarded
West Central Initiative awarded $191,000 in Resiliency Fund Grants to 21 organizations as part of our effort to ensure a just and sustainable regional recovery from the long-term effects of the pandemic.
These latest grants along with those awarded in 2020, combine for a total of more than $600,000 in Resiliency Fund Grants distributed in west central Minnesota.
Twelve community members known for their work in sustainable development and promoting racial equity participated in awarding the dollars. “The community members who led this work are passionate about building healthy and vibrant communities for all, and that passion shows in the variety of projects supported,” said Director of Development Rebecca Petersen.
The grants had two focus areas: promoting an equitable region and building a sustainable region.
