Minot, N.D. - The Minot Area Community Foundation awards $460,000 to the Domestic Violence Crisis Center (DVCC), as part of the ongoing effort to rebuild the region following the 2011 flood. The grant marks the largest one-time distribution from the foundation since its inception in 2000. The funds will help replace a DVCC transitional living 4-plex that was decimated by the 2011 Mouse River flood. Following the flood, local donations to assist the community were channeled through the Minot Area Community Foundation. Over the past two years, the Foundation reinvested more than $5.8 million back into the community to help directly with rebuilding efforts; nearly $4.4 million in assistance has gone directly to 2,498 flooded homeowners. The Minot Area Rebuilding Fund is now in place to help the community with long-term flood recovery projects. "We continue to serve as the center for community giving," said Ken Kitzman, president of the Minot Area Community Foundation. "There is no doubt that our community has changed. Our goal at the foundation is to help our community not only rebuild, but to enhance the overall quality of life by supporting key projects that will make an impact and address our community needs." The foundation reached a key milestone in early 2013, with total distributions surpassing the $10 million mark. Since the inception of the Minot Area Community Foundation, more than 200 local organizations have been supported through 3,425 grants to the community totally $10,438,946. "The foundation reaching $10 million in grants to our community is a milestone we are certainly proud of," said Kitzman. "Looking back, we have touched every corner of our community in some way. Knowing the number of people we have directly and indirectly assisted, I can humbly say that the foundation does makes a difference." |
