Proud Partnership with the Initiative Foundation

The Benton Economic Partnership is proud to work with the Initiative Foundation. It’s an organization committed to strengthening the economy in central Minnesota. Part of this mission involves providing loans and grants to new businesses that are working to create long-lasting jobs in their communities.

The Foundation uses donations to assist central Minnesota cities in times of need, such as recovery after a storm. Education is another top priority; the Foundation helps provide training and financial assistance to early childhood programs. The organization also hosts philanthropic Partner Funds. This program gives local charities a boost, as well as provides the necessary infrastructure that allows donors to receive tax deductions.
