DescriptionOrganizational EffectivenessAchievements Unlimited Foundation and Impact Foundation, its supported organization, (the "Foundations") recognize that many nonprofit organizations often lack expertise and financial resources to invest in critical organizational assessments, strategic planning and highly effective fundraising efforts to ensure their organization's effectiveness and sustainability over the long-term. The Foundations partnered with Dakota Medical Foundation to provide support and promote education and training sessions for nonprofit partner organizations through the Impact Institute. The Impact Institute has provided training to over 300 partner nonprofit organizations since its 2005 inception. Nonprofit Board and Management Training: Training boards and key management personnel to operate their organizations in a highly effective and efficient manner is a key education focus for the Foundations. The Foundations have encouraged many area nonprofit organizations to attend the Impact Institute's various education and training programs. Strategic Planning Training and Services: The Impact Institute piloted a Strategic Planning Toolkit and Webinar Series in 2011. The pilot was developed in conjunction with La Piana Consulting into three 90 minute sessions and an accompanying toolkit. Three nonprofits participated, with 100% of participants rating the webinar series with a score of 5 or 4 on a 0-5 point scale with 5 being the highest. The webinar and toolkit are available on www.impactgiveback.org.High Impact Fundraising Training: Educating and training organizations to become effective fundraisers is a key program at the Impact Institute. Professional trainers using highly structured and effective training methods and follow-up activities have provided training to over 200 organizations. A sampling of 22 nonprofit organizations participating in the training indicated an increase in contributions between 2007 ($31.9 million) and 2010 ($47.2 million).Shared Services Initiative: 80 nonprofit executives, staff and board members attended a Nonprofit Redesign Seminar. 91% of participants rated the seminar as a 5 or 4 on a 0-5 point scale with 5 being the highest. The Foundations have developed a pilot Management Services Organization (MSO) concept to provide shared administrative services for smaller nonprofit organizations in order to reduce the overhead costs associated with managing their programs and services; produce improved financial processing allowing more time to focus on strategic issues.High Impact Seal of Distinction Program: The Foundations, in partnership and collaboration with Dakota Medical Foundation, developed this program as the "capstone" for its series of education and training programs. The program includes an organizational assessment and development plan, additional board and executive leadership training, plan implementation support and annual renewals. Completion of the program is designed to build the capacity of executives to take their organizations from functioning well to superior performing, high impact organizations. The inaugural program included the participation of the Impact Foundation, Dakota Medical Foundation and 12 other nonprofit organizations' board of directors and executive staff. In May 2011, the inaugural class of 14 nonprofits received the High Impact Seal of Distinction.Grant Writing: The Foundations provide grant writing technical support to its partner nonprofit organizations aiming to increase resources for their programs and services. Dakota Medical Charities provided a multi-year grant that initially funded this initiative in 2005. Impact continues to leverage those funds by assisting other nonprofit organizations with their development efforts through writing effective grant applications. Grant writing efforts to date have resulted in 33 grants awarded totaling $6,213,610.High Impact Philanthropy (HIP): The Foundations, in partnership with Dakota Medical Foundation, initiated this program to unite outstanding community funding organizations and private donors to research and discuss various societal problems and issues in the region with the goal of a common focus and more coordinated, effective strategies to achieve a greater impact in the community. Impact Foundation serves as the fiscal host for the HIP initiative. The HIP Initiative was launched in the spring of 2009 with support from the Otto Bremer, Bush and Dakota Medical Foundations. The Impact Institute partnered with Mark Kramer, Founder and Managing Director of FSG, author of several influential articles and one of the leading experts in the field of philanthropy, to facilitate the HIP initiative. The goal of HIP is to inspire funders to adopt a new approach to more strategically and collaboratively solve societal issues in the region. The HIP steering committee is comprised of foundation, corporate and individual donors that invest over $75 million annually to support various charitable endeavors in the region. The steering committee's initial focus is to build the assets of youth living in Cass and Clay counties. Dr. Rathge of the North Dakota Data Center has conducted an inventory of all organizations in Cass and Clay counties that are working on youth asset building, including: organizational budget size, youth asset building areas, measures of performance, and interaction with other organizations in the area.The initial group of 15 organizations and community leaders came to a consensus to focus the HIP group's initial efforts on improving the internal and external assets of youth in the Fargo-Moorhead (FM) area. The goals of the HIP Initiative are: 1) Engaging youth, youth development organizations and others to develop a coordinated strategy to make the FM area a place where all youth can maximize their potential; 2) hold a Youth Development Summit; 3) release an environmental scan of organizations serving youth in the FM area that includes organization size, areas of focus, and collaboration activities; 4) develop a budget and identify an individual to coordinate, plan and implement the next phases for the HIP group.A stakeholder conference was held in December 2011 with over 100 participants from 54 different youth organizations and agencies in the Fargo-Moorhead area. Planning teams of cross-sector community stakeholders have been formed to accomplish this step/phase, and will be utilizing the Ready by 21 frame work from Forum for Youth Investment. An initial community-wide blueprint that outlines results, indicators and action steps needed to create the conditions for all children to reach their maximum potential will be released in 2012.Description

DescriptionEconomic DevelopmentThe Foundations support the economic development of North Dakota communities by initiating and funding various initiatives directed at assisting small businesses located in North Dakota. Grants from the USDA Office of Rural Development, North Dakota Department of Commerce, and Dakota Certified Development Corporation established the procurement assistance program (PAC) in 2006 to provide research, technical assistance, and training to North Dakota small businesses assisting them in securing federal and state government contracts for their goods and services.The Otto Bremer Foundation provided Impact with a $240,000 multi-year grant in 2008 to establish a Veteran's Entrepreneurship Assistance Program. This funding allowed the PAC to assist veterans to start and expand their businesses by securing government contracts. Funding from the USDA Office of Rural Development has allowed this program to assist businesses in key rural communities throughout the state. Through 2011, technical assistance has been provided to over 290 North Dakota businesses including 111 Native American and 62 veteran owned businesses and representing 90% of the current 8(a)/Small Disadvantaged Business certified companies. The PAC has provided 29 workshops with over 523 attendees. Over 197 bids have been submitted with 115 contracts obtained totaling over $171 million of which $111 million were Native American business contract dollars. Over 685 North Dakota jobs have been retained and/or created.Impact entered into a 30-year loan commitment with the USDA Intermediary Loan Program (IRP) through the Office of Rural Development in 2007. The IRP created a $937,500 pool of funds available to qualifying North Dakota businesses at low interest rates. Dakota Certified Development Corporation (DCDC) provided a grant to Impact to meet the equity requirement under the terms of the USDA loan with Impact. DCDC manages the loan program under an agreement with Impact. As of 12/31/2011 6 loans totaling over $674,000 have been provided to small businesses in rural communities. DCDC has established a charitable fund at the Foundations that will provide funding to improve the North Dakota business climate.Description
