"We received an offer of support for our fundraising and development listing from a University of Minnesota nonprofit management professor. Professor Gill’s class provided us with invaluable support. They conducted research about educational equity, explored new strategies for engaging our donors, and developed our strategic plan for building new connections with community partners...As a result of this collaboration, we now have a donor management strategic plan, new brochures & marketing materials, and an updated website. In addition, the remarkable students drafted a new grant template to aid us in building community libraries and expanding our Leaders are Readers program. They submitted a grant to a family foundation which resulted in us receiving the funds we needed to start a new community library project.

We are grateful to HandsOn Twin Cities for connecting us with invaluable resources and support to expand our impact. Together, we are growing futures— one book at a time, one child at a time." - Dr. Artika Tyner, Planting People Growing People
