WINGS (Women In Northfield Giving Support)
A project of Minnesota Community Foundation
WIDE IMPACT WINGS contributes to a wide variety of efforts in Northfield and focuses its funding on the education and well-being of women and children. One of the organizations to receive a grant in 2009 is Tackling Obstacles and Raising College Hopes (TORCH). TORCH is a program to help first-generation students from immigrant families graduate from high school and find the resources that enable them to attend college. Originally founded to help Latino students, TORCH has expanded its reach to include students from low-income families. TORCH has raised the Northfield High School graduation rates of its participants from 36% in 2004 to over 90% in 2009. For a complete listing of the 2009 grant recipients visit: www.wings-mn.org/grants.html.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE Contributions to WINGS provide grants to projects and initiatives that make a real difference in the lives of women and children in Northfield. It is through combining resources and focusing them on specific projects that WINGS makes a difference.
