Nonprofit Resource Specialists
In 1999, the Foundation and Bremer banks formed a partnership with the goal of better serving the nonprofit community. This partnership resulted in creation of a bank position called the Nonprofit Resource Specialist. With some Foundation support, ten banks currently have a Nonprofit Resource Specialist on staff. The NRSs, as they are called, act as resources to and within the local nonprofit community, helping individual organizations strategically develop organizational capacity and resources including, but not limited to, the Otto Bremer Foundation. The NRS's innovative and individualized approaches to community issues provide another resource in the Foundation's Organizational Effectiveness Program. This partnership is evidence that Bremer Financial employees, involved as they are community volunteers, are one of the Foundation's strongest assets.
