The Foundation for Innovation in Education exists:

 

Our Mission: To enhance collaborative efforts to enrich innovative learning opportunities for E-12 students in southwest and west central Minnesota.

 

How We Began: As an agency, SWWC perceived the need to foster collaboration between school districts, business and industry, and SWWC, as well as provide support for enhancing and sustaining E-12 student enrichment programs and activities. To meet this need, the SWWC Board of Directors authorized work to establish the foundation in 2017, with official non-profit status achieved in 2019.

 

Who We Are: FIE is a non-profit charitable organization that supports SWWC programs and services, while also raising awareness of SWWC. It is governed by a board of directors and supported by SWWC staff.

 

What We Do: FIE utilizes efforts in fundraising, and is continually looking for grants, corporate partners, and local donors who believe in enhancing and supporting enrichment opportunities for students in the region.

 

Every gift makes a difference. Whether small or large, your donation to the Foundation contributes to SWWC's work in enhancing and supporting enrichment opportunities for students in the region. The Foundation is designated as a 501(c)3, a 509(a)3, a public charity, and a Type II supporting organization. All donations to the Foundation are tax deductible.
