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.

Guided by values of social justice, equity and shared stewardship, incourage envisions a community that works well for all people. Incourage is a user-centered, values-led, place-based philanthropic and community development organization.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

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 officer posts the final form 990 draft for review by each board member and certain staff members 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.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

Conflict of interest disclosure forms are completed annually by directors, staff and most committees. When potential conflicts of interest 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

The board of directors reviews ceo pay annually taking comparative pay data into consideration, including regional and national foundations as well as community development organizations and data on peers with whom our ceo is most comparable. The ceo recommends detailed staff pay and the board of directors reviews staff positions and overall pay through the budget process, taking comparative pay data into consideration where available and appropriate. Budgets are subject to board approval.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0ALIGNMENT 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 INVESTMENT OF ITS FINANCIAL ASSETS, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS MISSION OR IMPACT INVESTING. CURRENT MISSION 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. IN 2016 INCOURAGE BEGAN DEVELOPMENT OF A PASSIVE EQUITY INDEX FUND CALLED THE WISCONSIN SHARED STEWARDSHIP EQUITIES FUND ("WSSEF"). LAUNCHED IN 2017, 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.TRIBUNE BUILDING - AN ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY HUB: INCOURAGE'S COMMITMENT TO PLACE-BASED INVESTING AND TO USER-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, (THE "TRIBUNE") HAS BEEN ABOUT MUCH MORE THAN REDEVOLPING A BUILDING. IT IS A DEMONSTRATION OF A USER-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. THE TRIBUNE WILL BUILD ON THE RICH ASSETS OF THE REGION TO ACCELERATE GROWTH IN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION AND SERVE AS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL SUPPORT CENTER, JOB TRAINING FACILITY AND DYNAMIC ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY HUB FOR SOUTHERN WOOD COUNTY AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN. INCOURAGE ENGAGED RESIDENTS IN DETERMINING THE FUTURE USES AND OVERALL DESIGN OF THIS HISTORIC LOCAL PROPERTY THAT IS LOCATED ON THE BANKS OF THE WISCONSIN RIVER IN DOWNTOWN WISCONSIN RAPIDS. 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 AND 2016, CONSISTED OF TEN PUBLIC MEETINGS IN WHICH PARTICIPANTS FOCUSED ON DEEPENING RELATIONSHIPS AND FURTHER DEFINING PROGRAMMING WITHIN THE FACILITY, AND DEVELOPING RESIDENT-LED FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP REALIZE THE BUILDING. IN 2017 COMMUNITY MEMBERS EXPLORED HOW SIMILAR PROJECTS IN OTHER REGIONS DEVELOPED, AND FUNDRAISING AT THE STATE AND NATIONAL LEVEL EXPANDED. TO DATE, OVER 2,000 RESIDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS MULTI-YEAR PLANNING 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. AT ITS CORE, THE TRIBUNE IS A COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE FOCUSED ON CULTIVATING ENTREPRENEURS AND GROWING A STRONG AND INCLUSIVE LOCAL ECONOMY.

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION EFFORTS RESULTING FROM THIS WORK INCLUDE A MANUFACTURING PEER COUNCIL, A REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH INITIATIVE, A BUSINESS AND EDUCATION ALLIANCE, A MANUFACTURING PARTNERSHIP AND OTHER COLLABORATIONS BETWEEN GROUPS THAT MAY NOT HAVE TRADITIONALLY WORKED CLOSELY TOGETHER TO SOLVE WORKFORCE ISSUES. THROUGHOUT 2016 AND 2017, INCOURAGE HAS WORKED WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO TRANSITION THESE PROGRAMS TO PERMANENT HOMES, INCLUDING MID STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE AND VARIOUS LOCAL MANUFACTURERS. (SEE INCOURAGECF.ORG/LEAD/WORKFORCE-CENTRAL-2, FOR MORE).COMMUNITY INFORMATION: IN 2008, INCOURAGE BEGAN PARTICIPATING IN THE JOHN S. AND JAMES L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION'S COMMUNITY INFORMATION CHALLENGE, FOCUSING ON USER-CENTERED PROCESSES TO CREATE A MORE INFORMED, ENGAGED, AND CONNECTED COMMUNITY. 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 2012 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. IN 2017, INCOURAGE AGAIN SURVEYED NEARLY 4,000 RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR CURRENT HOPES AND CONCERNS AND HOW THEIR GOALS AND PERSPECTIVES HAVE CHANGED. THE MAIN PRIORITIES IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY ARE SIMILAR TO 2012 AND INCLUDE: GOOD QUALITY JOBS ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, QUALITY EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS, ATTRACTING AND RETAINING YOUNG ADULTS AND FAMILIES, SUPPORT FOR LOCAL ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESS OWNERS, AND A HIGHLY TRAINED AND COMPETITIVE WORKFORCE. 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. (SEE INCOURAGECF.ORG/LEAD/COMMUNITY-INFORMATION, AND /COMMUNITY-SURVEY-2017 FOR MORE).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. EXAMPLES INCLUDE RUNNING AN ANNUAL COMMUNITY PICNIC AS AN OPEN AND INCLUSIVE SETTING FOR FOSTERING CONNECTIONS AMONG NEIGHBORS, CELEBRATING LOCAL ASSETS, AND PROMOTING COLLABORATION BETWEEN LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS (ATTENDANCE WAS OVER 4,000 IN 2017 IN THE POURING RAIN) (SEE HTTPS://INCOURAGECF.ORG/ACT/COMMUNITY-PICNIC/, FOR MORE); AND SUPPORTING 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 (SEE INCOURAGECF.ORG/LEARN/VITAL-SIGNS, FOR MORE).
