WHILE MAKING CONNECTIONS WITH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE UNITED STATES TO FURTHER ITS CHARITABLE INITIATIVES, THE FOUNDATION RECOGNIZED THAT NONPROFITS COULD LEARN FROM EACH OTHER TO SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FOUNDATION FUNDED A COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT THE HOMELESS: PATH HOME IN PORTLAND, OREGON AND PEOPLE SERVING PEOPLE IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA. MEMBERS OF KEY LEADERSHIP FROM BOTH ORGANIZATIONS VISITED EACH OTHER'S PHYSICAL LOCATIONS AND GENERATED IMPACTFUL DIALOGUE ON HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES SUCH AS HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION, STAFFING AND HUMAN RESOURCES, AND SPACE DESIGN.

IN SEPTEMBER 2024, RECHARGE MINNESOTA HOSTED A RECHARGE MINNESOTA SYMPOSIUM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, BRINGING NUMEROUS NONPROFIT, PRIVATE BUSINESS, AND GOVERNMENTAL STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER FOR PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION WITH THE THEME OF ECONOMICS, EDUCATION, AND JOB CREATION: MAKING THE EV TRANSITION WORK IN YOUR COMMUNITY.IN 2024, THE RECHARGE AMERICA/RECHARGE MINNESOTA TEAM CONTINUED TO DEVELOP PLANS FOR REGIONAL RECOGNITION PROGRAMS ACKNOWLEDGING THE WORK OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT, LOCAL BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS IN FOSTERING EV ADOPTION.LED BY BOARD MEMBER/OFFICER KAREN SOLOMON, THE FOUNDATION ALSO LAID THE GROUNDWORK IN 2024 FOR THE LAUNCH OF A NEW WRITERS RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN 2025. THIS PROGRAM WILL OFFER WRITERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO FINISH A MAJOR PROJECT (E.G., NOVEL, SHORT STORY, COLLECTION OF POETRY) OR ATTEND A WRITER'S WORKSHOP IN A PLACE OF THEIR CHOOSING. THE PURPOSE OF THE RESIDENCY IS TO PROVIDE OREGON WRITERS WITH A CHANCE TO ENHANCE THEIR SKILLS AS A WRITER AND/OR FINISH A MAJOR WRITING PROJECT.
