The Northwest Minnesota Foundation invests resources, facilitates collaboration and promotes philanthropy to make the region a better place to live and work.
This grant, led by the Northwest Continuum of Care, aims to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in Northwest Minnesota, particularly focusing on better outcomes for individuals impacted by homelessness. It encompasses a range of activities, from increasing NWCoC staff's cultural competency through training, fostering stronger relationships between individuals experiencing homelessness and housing support through culturally relevant events, to enhancing those individuals' stability by providing job training, financial assistance for stable housing, and support for professional or entrepreneurial development.
