Southwest Initiative Foundation is a trusted partner and a regional leader in helping southwest Minnesota stronger through giving, economic development and community impact. We’ve been listening to what communities in our region want for themselves since our founding in 1986. And together, we make it happen. We support local businesses, leaders and community members to foster economic mobility and provide grants and programs that create opportunities for all people to thrive in our communities.
