A TALENTED TEAM OF STAFF AND DEDICATED BOARD MEMBERS WORK ALONGSIDE OUR PARTNERS, DONORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ON PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THAT DIRECTLY SUPPORT OUR MISSION. FROM THE BEGINNING, WE HAVE FOCUSED ON SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. THE 18 COUNTIES AND TWO NATIVE NATIONS WE CALL HOME ARE CONTINUOUSLY EVOLVING, AND SWIF HAS GROWN AND RESPONDED TO OUR REGION'S CHANGING NEEDS.
