Speaking Our Peace

At Incourage we turned inward over the past two weeks. Inward to examine our core values and work. Inward to consider what it means to pursue our vision, a community that works well for all, in a nation divided.

Our collective discussions began to restore and affirm a sense of hope and connection among Incourage team members with different perspectives and life experiences. We share our experience with the hope that it will inspire you to pursue self-reflection and learning conversations. Read Kelly’s blog here.

We look forward to hosting Investing in Healthy Communities: Ideas to Action for Healthy People, Places and Planet in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in Wisconsin Rapids on December 7. Click here for more information, and watch for updates on our Twitter and Facebook next week!

Established in rural Wisconsin in 1994 to serve the changing needs of the south Wood County area, Incourage has become a nationally-recognized leader in place-based philanthropy and community development. Guided by values of equity, opportunity, and shared stewardship, Incourage envisions a community that works well for all people. One physical manifestation of this vision is the redevelopment of the Tribune building, which demonstrates Incourage’s resident-centered approach to growing a strong and inclusive local economy.
