OUR MISSION IS TO "UNLOCK THE POWER OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA PEOPLE TO BUILD AND SUSTAIN THRIVING COMMUNITIES" WHICH WE DO BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO BUSINESSES AND NONPROFITS (IN THE FORM OF LOANS AND GRANTS, RESPECTIVELY,) LEADERSHIP AND SKILLS TRAINING, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND RESOURCE REFERRAL. ONE OF OUR MOST EFFECTIVE TOOLS FOR FIGHTING POVERTY AND PROMOTING PROSPERITY HAS BEEN AMERICORPS VISTA. FOR THE PAST 17 YEARS, THE INITIATIVE FOUNDATION HAS SUCCESSFULLY SPONSORED VISTA MEMBERS AND, BECAUSE OF THEIR TREMENDOUS IMPACT, IT IS OUR HOPE TO CONTINUE DOING SO. OUR VISTA PROJECT HAS BEEN UNIQUE IN THAT WE SPONSOR A DIVERSITY OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE ALIGNED WITH THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY, EDUCATION, HEALTHY FUTURES, AND VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES FOCUS AREAS. THE PROPOSED VISTA PROJECT WILL CONTINUE TO REPRESENT THESE FOCUS AREAS IN AN EFFORT TO MEET THE DISTINCT NEEDS OF OUR REGION'S LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES WHILE WORKING ACROSS DIFFERENT SECTORS AND THROUGH A WIDE VARIETY OF STRATEGIES. WE PROPOSE SPONSORSHIP OF EIGHT GRANT-FUNDED MEMBERS, ONE GRANT-FUNDED VISTA LEADER, AND THREE COST-SHARE MEMBERS. VISTA MEMBERS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE GOALS OF THE PROJECT BY PERFORMING ACTIVITIES SUCH AS DEVELOPING ROBUST VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS SO NONPROFIT SERVICE AGENCIES CAN BETTER MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR CLIENTS; DEVELOPING LITERACY PROGRAMMING FOR VULNERABLE CHILDREN; AND HELPING TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF PROGRAMS TO BETTER SUPPORT AREA VETERANS, MILITARY MEMBERS, AND THEIR FAMILIES.

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA INITIATIVE FOUNDATION IS A REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATION THAT FOSTERS ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY VITALITY IN 20 COUNTIES OF SOUTHERN MINNESOTA THROUGH A CULTURE OF COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP. WE ENVISION A PROSPEROUS AND GROWING REGION WITH VIBRANT COMMUNITIES, INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL ECONOMIES, AND ENGAGED AND VALUED CITIZENS. SMIF AIMS TO ADVANCE RURAL MINNESOTA IN WAYS THAT BENEFIT ALL. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE OUR VISION OF A "PROSPEROUS AND GROWING REGION WITH VIBRANT COMMUNITIES, INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL ECONOMIES AND ENGAGED AND VALUED CITIZENS WE MUST CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE AND ENABLE CULTURE AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OUR IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITIES. SOUTHERN MINNESOTA COMMUNITIES ARE CHANGING. THERE IS A 25% INCREASE IN MINORITY POPULATION FROM 2000-2015 IN THE AREAS WE SERVE. THIS WILL INCREASE BY 65% BY 2035. AT THE SAME TIME INCOME POVERTY RATE IN MINNESOTA IS 2.7 TIMES HIGHER FOR HOUSEHOLDS OF COLOR, SPECIFICALLY 26.6% FOR BLACK HOUSEHOLDS AND 20.1% FOR HISPANIC HOUSEHOLDS. COMMUNITIES NEED ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT THIS NEW POPULATION IN OUR REGION, MOVE THEM OUT OF POVERTY AND INTO PROSPERITY. THIS REQUIRES IN MANY SITUATIONS SYSTEMIC PLANNING, STRATEGIC THINKING AND CAPACITY TO BUILD THE FRAMEWORK TO INSTILL NEW WAYS OF DOING THIS WORK. COMMUNITIES IN BOTH OUR RURAL ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURES PROGRAM AND PROSPERITY INITIATIVE ARE FINDING THEIR GREATEST OPPORTUNITIES AND YET THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN THIS POPULATION AS A RESULT OF NOT HAVING THE EXPERIENCE, TOOLS AND PROCESSES TO BUILD A COMMUNITY WHICH REQUIRES ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL LITERACY, EMPLOYMENT AND INDIVIDUAL ASSETS. THIS PROPOSED PROJECT ALIGNS WITH THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AS PART OF THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOCUS AREA OFFERED THROUGH CNCS. THIS VISTA PROJECT WILL SEEK TO IDENTIFY WAYS TO BUILD CAPACITY TO CREATE AN ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM WHICH BUILDS KNOWLEDGE PERTAINING TO FINANCIAL LITERACY, CREATES JOBS FOR BOTH EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEES AND LEVERAGES THE ASSETS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN PROVIDE THE TIME, TALENT AND RESOURCES TO CREATE AND SUSTAIN THIS WORK RESULTING IN LESS POVERTY AND MORE PROSPERITY. WE WILL SEEK FOUR (INCLUDING SMIF) SITES TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS YEAR LONG EFFORT AND SPECIFICALLY FOCUS ON ORGANIZATIONS WHICH DESIRE TO HELP JUMP START THIS WORK TO SUPPORT THE MINORITY POPULATION BASE AND WHO ARE PART OF OUR PROSPERITY INITIATIVE AND RURAL ENTREPRENEURIAL VENTURES INITIATIVES. THESE ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO BASELINE UNDERSTANDING OF INVENTORYING MINORITY POPULATIONS STRUGGLING TO START OR GROW A COMPANY, TO CREATING A ROADMAP OF ASSISTANCE THROUGH A BUSINESS ASSESSMENT AND/OR SURVEY TOOL, CAPTURING THIS INFORMATION AND FORMULATING PROCESSES TO HELP INDIVIDUALS SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS. THIS WORK MIGHT INCLUDE CREATING NEW DATABASE SYSTEMS TO TRACK PROGRESS, DESIGNING DIVERSITY TRAINING FOR LEADERSHIP TO CREATE A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF INDIVIDUALS WHO THEY WILL BE SERVING, AND CREATING EVALUATION TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND IMPACT AND LEARNING ALONG THE WAY. THIS WORK WILL REQUIRE A FULL 12 MONTHS TO COMPLETE AND/OR MAKE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS.
