Mission and Program Overview
Mission
Founded as a traditional community foundation in 1993, incourage has evolved into an entrepreneurial nonprofit, dedicated to and led by the people of central wisconsin. Over more than two decades, incourage has adapted its work to meet the complex needs of a region recovering from significant disinvestment. Today, incourage plays many roles in community development: 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.
We promote philanthropy in furtherance of building community, with a vision of a community that works well for all people, guided by values of equity, inclusion and opportunity. Incourage is a resident-centered, values-led, place-based philanthropic organization.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4
“On march 18, 2014, the board of directors of the foundation adopted an amendment to the restated bylaws of the foundation, defining tenure as "directors shall be elected for a term of up to three years (3). Term lengths shall vary and shall be determined by the board of directors." and clarifying how successive terms may work.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11
“Upon completion of preparation of form 990 by a third party accounting firm (accomplished with significant input from a variety of staff members) the chief financial and operating officer posts the final form 990 draft for review by each board member and certain staff members several days prior to filing, explicitly seeking their review and comments with respect to the filing to be made. Any and all comments received are reviewed for whether an adjustment needs to be made to the form 990 that was available for review. After all comments have been cleared, the final form 990 is submitted to the irs and a copy of the same is posted for all board members and certain staff members, noting any significant adjustments that were made as a result of their review.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C
“Conflict of interest disclosure forms are completed annually by directors, certain staff and most committees. When potential conflicts arise, the conflicted person is allowed an initial opportunity for input to the discussion with final discussions and voting, if any, done without their input.”
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

Financial Statement Notes
PART X, LINE 2:
“In order to account for any uncertain income tax positions, the foundation determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position, assuming the taxing authority has full knowledge of all information. If the tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of the tax position is not recognized in the financial statements. The foundation has not recorded any assets or liabilities related to uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits as of december 31, 2014 or 2013. The foundation's federal returns for the years ended december 31, 2011 and beyond remain subject to examination by the internal revenue service.”

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | IN PURSUIT OF A LONG-TERM STRATEGY OF CREATING A COHESIVE, INTEGRATED SOCIAL SERVICES AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM THAT FOSTERS NEW SOLUTIONS FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH, IN OCTOBER OF 2008 THE FOUNDATION WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF THE FIRST RURAL ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE CHOSEN BY THE NATIONAL FUND FOR WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS (NFWS) TO LEAD A PROJECT SITE THROUGH ITS IMPLEMENTATION PARTNER JOBS FOR THE FUTURE, INC. THE LOCAL NFWS INITIATIVE, WORKFORCE CENTRAL, IS DEVELOPING A DUAL-CUSTOMER, SECTOR-BASED APPROACH FOR ADVANCING LOW-SKILLED, LOW-WAGE WORKERS INTO JOBS WITH FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGES. ENHANCING INTEGRATION OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND MOBILIZATION OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS IS A CORE ELEMENT OF THIS PHILANTHROPIC-LED STRATEGY. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)SOME COMMUNITY COLLABORATION EFFORTS RESULTING FROM THIS WORK INCLUDE A REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH INITIATIVE, A BUSINESS AND EDUCATION COLLABORATIVE AND OTHER GROWING COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN GROUPS THAT MAY NOT HAVE TRADITIONALLY WORKED CLOSELY TOGETHER TO SOLVE ISSUES.ALSO IN 2008, THE FOUNDATION BEGAN PARTICIPATING IN THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION'S COMMUNITY INFORMATION CHALLENGE, RESEARCHING WHERE AND HOW LOCAL RESIDENTS GET THEIR INFORMATION AND ASSESSING THEIR ABILITY TO ACCESS THE INFORMATION THEY NEED IN ORDER TO LEAD BETTER INFORMED LIVES. ADDRESSING ISSUES OF DIGITAL ACCESS AND DIGITAL LITERACY ARE INTEGRAL TO THIS PROJECT. IN LATE 2011, THE FOUNDATION ENGAGED IN DIALOGUE WITH AREA RESIDENTS FOCUSED ON CHALLENGES FACING THE COMMUNITY, COMMUNITY STRENGTHS, VISION FOR THE FUTURE AND INTEREST IN ENGAGING WITH THE FOUNDATION'S WORK. IN 2012, THIS DIALOGUE LED TO SPONSORING THE LARGEST COMMUNITY-WIDE SURVEY IN THE HISTORY OF THE SOUTH WOOD COUNTY AREA, WITH OVER 4,100 RESIDENTS RESPONDING. THE FOUR MAIN PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE SURVEY WERE, A STRONG ECONOMY, OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG ADULTS AND FAMILIES, OPENNESS TO NEW IDEAS AND CHANGES, AND A FOCUS ON NATURE AND RECREATION OF THE AREA. THE FOUNDATION IS COMMITTED TO HELPING THE COMMUNITY COORDINATE EFFORTS FOCUSED ON COMMUNITY PRIORITIES AND A SHARED VISION FOR FUTURE. THE CONNECTEDNESS AND INTEGRATION OF A VARIETY OF GRANTS, PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES ALLOWS FOR A "COMMUNITY SPECIFIC" FRAMEWORK THROUGH WHICH COLLECTIVE RESOURCES CAN ACHIEVE GREATER IMPACT IN THE FORM OF SYSTEMS CHANGE AND COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT. EXAMPLES INCLUDE ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY PICNIC AS AN OPEN AND INCLUSIVE SETTING FOR FOSTERING CONNECTIONS AMONG NEIGHBORS, AND PROMOTING COLLABORATION BETWEEN LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS (ATTENDANCE WAS OVER 3,500 IN 2014); AND SUPPORTING RESEARCH INTO LOCAL DATA TO PRODUCE VITAL SIGNS REPORTS AND THEN TO HOST CRITICAL COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS FOR INFORMING STRATEGY AND ACTION WITH TIMELY, ACCURATE AND RELEVANT DATA (SEE INCOURAGECF.ORG/LEARN/VITAL-SIGNS). |

PHASE ONE OF THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS - IDEA SHARING - BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2013 AND CONCLUDED IN EARLY 2014 AND CONSISTED OF A FOUR-PART PUBLIC MEETING SERIES WHERE EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED TO SHARE THEIR IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE SPACE, WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING RESIDENTS TO SHIFT THEIR THINKING FROM "ME" TO "WE". PHASE TWO CONSISTED OF SEVEN PUBLIC MEETINGS IN 2014 WHEREBY THE COMMUNITY WAS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE FACILITY. OVER 750 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WORKED TOGETHER TO PRIORITIZE END USE IDEAS THAT WOULD CELEBRATE LOCAL ASSETS, CONNECT RESIDENTS, AND ACT AS A CATALYST FOR FUTURE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT.
