March 22, 2023 – Minot, ND:  

As part of its deep commitment to being a force for good in the communities it serves, the Midco Foundation has awarded grants to two Minot organizations. The Minot Public Library and the Lillian & Coleman Taube Museum of Art have been selected as grant recipients because they are positive changemakers in the Minot community.  

“Midco is dedicated to strengthening the communities we serve by supporting the incredible organizations that serve them,” said Wynne Haakenstad, Executive Director of the Midco Foundation. “The Midco Foundation board reviewed exceptional applications, resulting in financial assistance to 72 worthy organizations across Midco’s service area. We are truly thankful for the variety of programs that serve as a force for good to those in need.” 

As an integral part of the Minot community, Midco is dedicated to championing the causes that matter most to its team members and customers. Midco is proud to sponsor Minot State, the Souris Valley United Way, Trinity Health and the Minot Air Force Base. Midco has sponsored public service announcements for the Trinity Health Foundation, Children’s Museum of Minot, Inc., Minot Symphony Orchestra and Northern Plains Children’s Advocacy Center. Midco team members enjoy volunteering for Backpack Buddies and the Citywide Cleanup Event, as well as participating in the Building Hope Women’s Golf Tournament and Roosevelt Park Zoo Day. Midco is a proud member of the Minot Area Development Corporation and the Minot Area Chamber of Commerce. 

The Midco Foundation Board reviews and approves funding requests twice a year. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for future grants to support special projects, facility improvements, equipment and programs.
