Please extend our thank you to the Elk River Economic Development Authority, the
City of Elk River, and to the City Council for supporting the Initiative Foundation's
five year "Unlock the Potential" Campaign with your payment of $2,500.
The Foundation is proud to have served this region for almost 20 years by providing
financial and technical hands-on support for economic and community development.
_ While we can point to about $41 million invested in Central Minnesota through grants
and business financing loans since 1986, we cannot calculate the total value of the citizen
training and capacity-building that is a significant part of our mission. Your generous
support identifies you as a full partner in a model that is truly unique, highly impactful,
and time proven. We work with and through committed local citizens to create healthy,
sustainable Central Minnesota communities.
Again, thank you for continuing to support Central Minnesota and its citizens through
the programs and services of the Initiafive Foundation!
