Our Mission
West Central Initiative serves to improve west central Minnesota through funding, programs and technical assistance. It is our vision to build a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable world starting here in west central Minnesota. We will accomplish this as we guide our work with our four core values: neighborliness, generosity, empowerment and trend-testing.
Neighborliness: our interconnectedness as a region is crucial to our long-term viability.
Generosity: embrace a common good achieved through our collective action of giving time, talent and treasure.
Empowerment: be a part of bold action and develop and use power to a good end.
Trend-testing: embrace risk and learn from mistakes while we work together boldly.
