西北地区基金会：通过经济机会赋予社区权力
西北地区基金会是一个非营利组织，旨在为美洲原住民、有色人种社区、移民、难民和农村地区的人们提供和支持经济机会。该基金会由老路易斯·W·希尔 (Louis W. Hill Sr.) 于 1934 年创立，一直孜孜不倦地致力于创造一个更加公平的社会，让每个人都能获得发展所需的资源。
西北地区基金会总部位于明尼苏达州圣保罗，为美国中西部上游地区的八个州提供服务。这些州包括明尼苏达州、北达科他州、南达科他州、蒙大拿州、爱达荷州、华盛顿州、俄勒冈州和爱荷华州。
该基金会的使命围绕着通过经济机会赋予社区权力。他们相信，通过投资于人和他们的变革想法，他们可以帮助建立更强大的社区，这些社区随着时间的推移更具弹性和可持续性。
西北地区基金会实现这一目标的关键方式之一是向从事与经济发展相关项目的组织提供赠款。这些赠款是根据竞争性申请流程授予的，组织必须证明他们的项目将如何为生活在贫困中的个人或家庭创造就业机会或增加收入。
除了为以社区为基础的项目提供财政支持外，重点是劳动力培训计划或小企业孵化器等经济发展计划；该基金会还提供技术援助服务，例如专门为寻求类似基金会资助机会的非营利组织设计的能力建设研讨会。
西北地区基金会支持其使命的另一种方式是与致力于解决影响美国中心地带边缘化人口的社会正义问题的其他组织建立伙伴关系。通过与这些团体合作实现共同目标，例如增加获得负担得起的住房的机会或改善服务不足的青年人口的教育成果；该基金会可以更有效地利用其资源，同时扩大其在当地社区的影响力。
西北地区基金会认识到，系统性种族主义造成了重大障碍，阻碍了许多人获得当今经济中取得成功所必需的机会——尤其是那些在历史上因种族/族裔身份（美洲原住民）、移民身份（移民/难民）而被边缘化的人，地理位置（农村地区）或导致不平等的其他因素，如性别认同/表达等。作为他们致力于消除这些障碍的公平和包容努力的一部分；该基金会与受助人和合作伙伴密切合作，在他们工作的各个方面推进种族平等原则，包括资助过程本身，优先考虑由 BIPOC 领导的组织领导的资助提案，这些组织服务于受系统性种族主义和压迫不成比例影响的 BIPOC 社区。
综上所述，
西北地区基金会是一个致力于通过支持旨在促进历史上被边缘化的人群（包括美洲原住民）的经济机会的举措，在美国中心地带的当地社区内创造积极变化的组织；有色人种社区；移民/难民和居住在农村地区的人。
他们的工作包括通过赠款流程提供财务支持，以及专门设计用于帮助非营利组织从像他们这样的基金会寻求资助机会的技术援助服务。
通过与致力于解决影响全国边缘化人口的社会正义问题的其他团体的伙伴关系，NWAF 有效地利用其资源，同时扩大当地影响。
作为他们在工作的各个方面推进种族平等原则的承诺的一部分，包括赠款过程本身，优先考虑由 BIPOC 领导的组织领导的资助提案，这些组织服务于受系统性种族主义和压迫不成比例影响的 BIPOC 社区 - NWAF 继续努力创造一个更加公平的社会每个人不仅可以获得基本需求，而且可以获得在我们今天的经济中取得成功所必需的平等机会！
