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 user-centered approach to growing a strong and inclusive local economy.
Growing up in a bigger city like Milwaukee, Dr. Missy Skurzewski-Servant never realized how engaging and fun it is to be a part of events and projects within a more rural setting. Since moving to central Wisconsin, Missy has connected with more and more people who are passionate about this community and its development. “Through participation in the Tribune meetings, I have witnessed the power of collaboration among community members as a key factor in developing an idea into a reality.” 
We’d love to
hear from you.
