| IRS990/MissionDesc | 0 | FOUNDED AS A TRADITIONAL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IN 1993, INCOURAGE EVOLVED INTO AN ENTREPRENEURIAL NONPROFIT, DEDICATED TO AND LED BY THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN. IN THE MORE THAN THREE DECADES SINCE, INCOURAGE HAS ADAPTED ITS WORK TO MEET THE CHANGING AND COMPLEX NEEDS OF A RURAL REGION RECOVERING FROM SIGNIFICANT DISINVESTMENT. INCOURAGE PLAYS MANY ROLES IN COMMUNITY BUILDING: STEWARD, ADVOCATE, CONVENER, MODERATOR, TRAINER, RESEARCHER, GRANT-MAKER, INVESTOR, AND FUNDRAISER. INCOURAGE OPERATES FROM A CENTRAL BELIEF THAT PEOPLE ARE ITS MOST IMPORTANT ASSET, AND THAT POSITIVE COMMUNITY CHANGE HAPPENS WHEN SYSTEMATIC BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION AND ENGAGEMENT ARE ELIMINATED, SO THAT EVERY PERSON, AND THE COMMUNITY, CAN REALIZE THE POWER OF THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. THIS INCLUDES THE BELIEF THAT RESIDENTS WHO FEEL A SENSE OF BELONGING, OWNERSHIP, SHARED RESPONSIBILITY, AND SHARED DESTINY BY VIRTUE OF A SHARED PLACE, ARE ESSENTIAL IN SHAPING HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLE, AND INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH |

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | ALIGNMENT OF COMMUNITY CAPITALS: RECOGNIZING THAT GRANTS ALONE CANNOT SUPPORT THE NEEDS OF AN INNOVATIVE, EMERGING ECONOMY, INCOURAGE HAS COMMITTED TO ALIGN AND LEVERAGE ALL OF ITS CAPITALS, INCLUDING MORAL, HUMAN, SOCIAL, INTELLECTUAL, REPUTATIONAL, NATURAL, AND FINANCIAL, TO ADVANCE ITS MISSION. INCOURAGE OPERATES WITH A STRATEGY THAT EMBRACES INTENTIONAL FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF VALUES-ALIGNED, PLACE-BASED INVESTMENTS OF ITS FINANCIAL ASSETS, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS MISSION, IMPACT, OR COMMUNITY INVESTING. CURRENT MISSION ALIGNED INVESTMENTS INCLUDE INSURED DEPOSITS IN LOCAL BANKS AND CREDIT UNIONS, AND FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS IN REGIONAL HIGH-PERFORMING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (CDFI'S) THAT PROVIDE FINANCING TO REGIONAL BUSINESSES, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS, AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. STARTING IN 2017, INCOURAGE DEVELOPED AND LAUNCHED A PASSIVE EQUITY INDEX FUND CALLED THE WISCONSIN SHARED STEWARDSHIP EQUITIES FUND ("WSSEF"). IT INCLUDES A CUSTOMIZED PORTFOLIO OF PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES THAT TILTS TOWARD COMPANIES THAT ARE BASED IN, OR EMPLOY PEOPLE IN, WISCONSIN. IN ADDITION, THE WSSEF ALLOWS FOR PROXY VOTING AND SHAREHOLDER DIALOGUE TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES AND BUSINESS GROWTH IN WISCONSIN. STARTING IN 2018, INCOURAGE, ALONG WITH FIVE OTHER FOUNDATIONS, FOUNDED THE WISCONSIN IMPACT INVESTING COLLABORATIVE, AN EFFORT TO HELP A WIDE VARIETY OF INVESTORS LEARN ABOUT AND JOIN WITH OTHERS IN INVESTING IN INCLUSIVE, VIBRANT, AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT WISCONSIN'S URBAN, RURAL AND TRIBAL AREAS. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COLLABORATIVE AT WWW.WI3C.ORG AND AT WIPHILANTHROPY.ORG/IMPACT-INVESTING/.TRIBUNE BUILDING - AN ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY HUB FOR SOUTHERN WOOD COUNTY AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN: INCOURAGE'S COMMITMENT TO PLACE-BASED INVESTING AND USER-CENTERED DECISION MAKING FOR SOUTHERN WOOD COUNTY'S FUTURE IS SYMBOLIZED BY THE CONTINUING REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER DAILY TRIBUNE NEWSPAPER AND WFHR RADIO BUILDING, WHICH INCOURAGE PURCHASED THROUGH ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, COMMUNITY PROPERTY, INC., IN DECEMBER OF 2012. FROM THE BEGINNING, THE TRIBUNE BUILDING (THE "TRIBUNE"), A HISTORIC LOCAL MID-CENTURY PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE BANKS OF THE WISCONSIN RIVER IN DOWNTOWN WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WISCONSIN, HAS BEEN ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN REDEVELOPING A BUILDING. IT IS A DEMONSTRATION OF A USER-CENTERED PROCESS TOWARD REALIZING INCOURAGE'S VISION OF PARTNERING WITH RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, AND CIVIC LEADERS IN RURAL CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO CO-CREATE AN INCLUSIVE, ADAPTIVE, AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY THAT WORKS WELL FOR ALL PEOPLE. INCOURAGE HAS ENGAGED OVER 2,000 RESIDENTS IN THE PLANNING AND DECISION-MAKING PROCESS SO FAR. THE TRIBUNE IS BEING DESIGNED TO REFLECT RESIDENT PRIORITIES AND CAPITALIZE ON COMMUNITY AND REGIONAL ASSETS. THE REDEVELOPED FACILITY WILL BE AN ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY HUB FOR SOUTHERN WOOD COUNTY AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON THE NEEDS OF RURAL COMMUNITIES. IT WILL SERVE AS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT CENTER, A FOCAL POINT OF REGIONAL COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION, AND A DYNAMIC COMMUNITY PLACE FOR WORK, PLAY, AND COMMERCE.AS A RECAP OF THE MULTI-YEAR JOURNEY SO FAR, PHASE ONE IN 2013 AND 2014 CONSISTED OF FOUR PUBLIC MEETINGS WHERE EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED TO SHARE THEIR IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE USE OF THE SPACE, INCLUDING ENCOURAGING RESIDENTS TO SHIFT THEIR THINKING FROM "ME" TO "WE". PHASE TWO IN 2014, CONSISTED OF SEVEN PUBLIC MEETINGS WHEREBY THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE POTENTIAL DESIGN AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE FACILITY. PHASE THREE IN 2015 AND 2016, CONSISTED OF TEN PUBLIC MEETINGS IN WHICH PARTICIPANTS FOCUSED ON DEEPENING RELATIONSHIPS, FURTHER DEFINING POTENTIAL PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE FACILITY, AND DEVELOPING RESIDENT-LED FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP REALIZE THE BUILDING. IN 2017 AND 2018 COMMUNITY MEMBERS EXPLORED HOW SIMILAR PROJECTS IN OTHER REGIONS DEVELOPED, |

ALSO SEE INCOURAGECF.ORG/NATIONAL-PARTNERS/ FOR MORE.AS AN EXAMPLE, IN AN EFFORT TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY PROSPERITY BUILT ON VALUING WORKERS, SUPPORTING LOCAL EMPLOYERS, AND INVESTING IN ECONOMIC GROWTH, BETWEEN 2008 AND 2016 INCOURAGE, AS ONE OF THE FIRST RURAL ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE CHOSEN BY THE NATIONAL FUND FOR WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS, LED A PROJECT INITIATIVE NAMED WORKFORCE CENTRAL THAT PURSUED A DUAL-CUSTOMER, SECTOR-BASED APPROACH FOR ADVANCING WORKERS INTO JOBS WITH FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGES. ENHANCING THE INTEGRATION OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND MOBILIZATION OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS WAS A CORE ELEMENT OF THIS PHILANTHROPIC-LED STRATEGY. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION EFFORTS HAPPENED BETWEEN GROUPS THAT MAY NOT HAVE TRADITIONALLY WORKED CLOSELY TOGETHER TO SOLVE WORKFORCE ISSUES. SINCE 2016, INCOURAGE WORKED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND TRANSITIONED THESE PROGRAMS TO PERMANENT HOMES, INCLUDING MID STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE AND VARIOUS LOCAL MANUFACTURERS.

THE CONVERSATIONS WERE ALSO INFORMED BY RESEARCH INTO LOCAL DATA TO PRODUCE VITAL SIGNS TYPE REPORTS AND THEN TO HOST CRITICAL COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS FOR INFORMING STRATEGY AND ACTION WITH TIMELY, ACCURATE AND RELEVANT DATA. ALSO SEE INCOURAGECF.ORG/WELCOME-TO-VITAL-SIGNS-2014-PURSUING-ECONOMIC-OPPORTUNITY-GROWTH/ FOR MORE.
