Like you, we want to see Greater Minnesota grow, thrive and prosper. And to do that—to equip early stage social entrepreneurs with the support they need to transform their ideas into scalable, sustainable ventures that diversify and enrich the region—we need your help.
Through a friendly but competitive selection process, the Initiators Fellowship provides wrap-around training, mentoring and guidance—plus $30,000 annually for two years—to support up to nine Fellows and their social enterprise ideas. Cohort 3 begins January 2022 and will include fellows from the Initiative Foundation, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, Southwest Initiative Foundation and West Central Initiative.
Your support will help the selected Initiators Fellows as they address some of society’s most pressing needs while building the business and leadership foundation in central, southwest and west central Minnesota.
Our 2020 to 2021 cohort includes Jonathan Friesner, Hamdia Mohamed, Marc Van Herr, Anne O'Keefe-Jackson, Erin Schutte Wadzinski, Alise Sjostrom and Rachel Stone. To learn morea about them visit our website.
