Recent Loan activity in Sherburne County includes: ~ Eighth Street House, Big Lake ~ Raymond P. Chock Trucking, Elk River We are pleased to inform you that we have implemented two new programs this year, which are available to lakes associations and non-profit organizations. Our Environmental Initiative coordinated by Don Hickman has a goal of restoring a sense of personal responsibility for preserving lakes and rivers by adopting a citizen-participation approach to water management plans. The Healthy Organizations Partnership (HOP) is designed to increase the capacity of nonprofit organizations so that they can better accomplish their respective missions and is headed up by Brad Kruse. Fact sheets are enclosed for your review. We believe in planting seeds that build strong communities, counties and ultimately a strong Central Minnesota region. In our 15-year history, the Initiative Foundation has improved the quality of life in the region by: · Making 1,515 grants totaling $11.7 million. · Making 570 loans totaling $13 million. · Leveraging $72.9 million in private business investment. · Creating or retaining more than 5,260 jobs. · Training more than 835 community leaders.
