The groups we fund organize to: Our Commitment to the Midwest The Midwest is a pivotal region that has a rich tradition of dynamic community organizing and coalition building. Despite the region’s history and tradition of community, labor, and electoral organizing, there have been limited long-term investments in the Midwest from foundations.
In 2019, Needmor launched its Midwest Strategy, funding organizations across eight states in the region (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin). Needmor’s grantee partners build power across the Midwest, bringing together BIPOC communities and communities historically excluded from impactful investments in the region, but who are crucial to the past, present, and future of organizing in the Midwest.
