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, 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 posted for all board members and certain staff members, noting any significant adjustments that were made as a result of their review, and the final form 990 is submitted to the irs.”

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | Alignment of Community Capitals: Incourage operates from a central belief that people are the community's most important asset and that positive community change happens when individuals have the opportunity to realize their full potential. This includes the belief that residents who feel a sense of ownership, shared responsibility and shared destiny by virtue of a shared place are essential in shaping healthy, sustainable and inclusive economic growth. 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 vision. Incourage operates with a strategy that embraces intentional further development and deployment of values-aligned, place-based investment of its financial assets, sometimes referred to as mission or impact investing. Tribune Community Accelerator: Incourage's commitment to place-based investing and to resident-centered decision making for south Wood County's future is symbolized by the continuing re-development of the former Daily Tribune building, which Incourage purchased through its supporting organization, Community Property, Inc., in December of 2012. From the beginning, the Tribune Building Project has been about "more than the building". It is a demonstration of a resident-centered process toward realizing Incourage's vision of a community that works well for all people. The Tribune will serve as a "community accelerator" - accelerating economic growth and opportunity, environmental sustainability, learning, creativity and connections for community benefit. Incourage utilized a resident-centered planning process to determine the future uses of this historic local property on the Wisconsin River. 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 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 design and sustainability of the facility. Phase three in 2015, consisted of six public meetings in which participants focused on deepening relationships and further defining programming within the facility. To date, over 1,200 residents have participated in this process, including working together to prioritize end use ideas that will celebrate local assets, connect residents, and act as a catalyst for future downtown development and shape a sustainable, inclusive local economy. An additional 450 residents have participated in Tribune 101 sessions designed to create wider shared knowledge and understanding of the Tribune. (see incouragecf.org/lead/tribune-building, for more).Blueprints for Tomorrow Training Collaborative: Realizing that building a community with a local, inclusive, sustainable economy will take individuals and institutions working together in new and different ways, in late 2014 Incourage established Blueprints for Tomorrow, a 25-month Incourage led and USDA-supported program that is building networks, vision and skills to lead a new regional economy based on the values of equity, opportunity and shared stewardship. The curriculum includes: adaptive leadership; impact investing and financing; collaborative development practices; and local, inclusive, and sustainable economies; with six local public and private institutions participating together in the inaugural program. By combining training, coaching and community knowledge with evolving design and finance tools, Blueprints is helping our community's institutions do business in new and different ways, ensuring that they are prepared to support an entrepeneurial culture shaped by resident participation.

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | Workforce Development: 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 2008 Incourage was 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 pursuing 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 is a core element of this philanthropic-led strategy. Some community collaboration efforts resulting from this work include a manufacturing peer council, a regional economic growth initiative, a business and education collaborative, a manufacturing partnership and other growing collaborations between groups that may not have traditionally worked closely together to solve workforce issues (see incouragecf.org/lead/workforce-central-2, for more).Community Information: Also in 2008, Incourage 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 initiative. In 2012 Incourage engaged in dialogue with area residents focused on challenges facing the community, community strengths, vision for the future and interest in engaging with Incourage's work, including 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 change, and a focus on nature and recreation of the area. These priorities continue to inform Incourage's strategy and Incourage is committed to helping the community coordinate efforts focused on community priorities and a shared vision for the 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 involvement (see incouragecf.org/lead/community-information, for more).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 5,000 in 2015); 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, for more). |
