Funding & Partnership Opportunities

Sourcewell strategically reinvests in the communities we serve. For public agencies in Minnesota's Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd, and Wadena counties, Sourcewell offers funding opportunities to help promote new ideas or methods, encourage positive change, and inspire innovation and collaboration.

Innovation Funding

Sometimes great ideas just need money. Our goal is to financially jump-start under-funded, innovative projects to help them get off the ground and reach a successful outcome. Regional representatives select which projects to fund based on their potential positive impact in the community.

Cooperative Purchasing Rebate

The rebate program is another way we strategically reinvest in our community. When a local government in our five-county service area makes a purchase using a Sourcewell cooperative contract, Sourcewell will rebate 1% cash back. Rebate checks are paid out automatically every fall.
_{Nonprofit organizations are not eligible for this rebate.}
