As part of its deep commitment to being a force for good in the communities it serves, the Midco Foundation has awarded grants to four Grand Forks organizations. Altru Family YMCA, Community Violence Intervention Center, Grand Forks Senior Center and St. Joseph’s Social Care have been selected as grant recipients because they are positive changemakers in the Grand Forks 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 Grand Forks community, Midco is dedicated to championing the causes that matter most to its team members and customers. Midco is proud to sponsor the Alerus Center, Grand Forks Downtown Development Association, United Way of Grand Forks, Ralph Engelstad Arena, Hugo’s Raceway BMX track and University of North Dakota Sports. Midco has sponsored public service announcements for Altru Health, SCORE Grand Forks, Vets in the Park and United Way of Grand Forks. Midco team members enjoy helping at events like the Alerus Center Trunk or Treat, UND Football, Basketball and Hockey FanFests and UND Football Tailgate. Midco provides free Wi-Fi in downtown Grand Forks and is a proud member of the Grand Forks Economic Development Corporation and The Chamber.
