CMHFH Named Outstanding Nonprofit of the Year by the Initiative Foundation

Dear Friend of Habitat for Humanity,

We have exciting news! Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity was awarded the 2009 Outstanding Nonprofit of the Year Award by the Initiative Foundation! We were recognized for our dedication to eliminating poverty housing and strengthening the Central Minnesota community through providing affordable housing options to families in need.

We accepted the award at a wonderful ceremony on April 17th, organized by the Initiative Foundation. It was a star-studded evening as we shared the podium with some very special people and organizations working hard in Central Minnesota.

What an amazing night! Current and former Board Members, staff, community partners and volunteers gathered to celebrate our progress. Even better, the Miller family (owners of the 2008 Green Build Home) joined us to share in the celebration and to tell over 500 people in attendance how Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity has already changed their lives for the better!

We have you-our friends, volunteers and supporters--to thank for our success in serving families in Central Minnesota! I encourage you to take a little time to check out the video about our award or read the IQ magazine article. Then, sit back and give yourself a pat on the back for helping make it all happen! We look forward to continuing this important work with you at our side.


With Deepest Gratitude,

Dick Bitzan
Former Board President
