Faribault Daily News: SMIF seeks applications for Economic Development Grants

Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation is currently accepting applications for its Economic Development Grant program. Requests of up to $10,000 will be considered.

The Economic Development Grant supports projects that strengthen local business activity, promote steady economic growth across SMIF’s 20-county region and Native nation, and encourage innovation, job creation and broader access to opportunity. The program supports organizations that provide direct services to help people start or expand small businesses and that create welcoming environments where more residents can participate in southern Minnesota’s business support network. While all communities in SMIF’s region will be considered, preference is given to organizations or projects serving communities with populations under 10,000.
