INITIATIVE <br />FOUNDATION <br />Should My Community Consider HCP? <br />UnlockinE the Power of Peoule <br />The Initiative Foundation's Healthy Communities Partnership (HCP) program <br />works with central Minnesota communities to engage local citizens in planning for <br />the future. Too often people feel disconnected and powerless to affect change in <br />their communities, even though many are willing to volunteer countless hours to <br />ensure the success of community projects that interest them. <br />HCP begins by providing one year of innovative training to local leadership teams <br />whose members must be dedicated to involving everyone in the process of building <br />a brighter future for their community. The Initiative Foundation provides an initial <br />$10,000 grant, technical support and facilitation, and atime-tested model within <br />which each community will create its own vision and integrated plan. The <br />planning process generates a number of goals and projects that will require local <br />volunteers and resources in order to be successful. <br />Selection to HCP is a competitive process-only eight communities are offered the <br />training each year. More than 100 Central Minnesota communities and six <br />counties have already benefited from the impact of your Initiative Foundation's <br />support and expertise! <br />If your community has never participated in HCP ... or if it has been a number of <br />years since it did ...you may wish to consider applying. <br />Want More Information? <br />For further information or to schedule a formal presentation for your neighbors and <br />friends, call the Initiative Foundation toll-free at (877) 632-9255 and ask for Dan <br />Frank, Manager for Community Development. <br />LOG I`n <..r 4r~ua r.r SI'. <br />Lrr~ir: F,~i.i.ti, nln 66346 <br />I`un ni.. 3_O.tCtCf~_.~.1 <br />~n~_ :11'U.l Y.f° vPFR <br /> <br />
