West Central Initiative is a regional community foundation that serves the nine west central Minnesota counties of Becker, Clay, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope, Stevens, Traverse, and Wilkin and the portion of White Earth Nation in Becker County. WCI has one specific goal: to strengthen the economy of west central Minnesota so our families, communities, and businesses thrive. We do this using the tools of economic development, community development, and philanthropy.
