City Calls for Human Services Proposals for 2015 Funding
Edina, Minn., Aug. 28, 2014 – The City of Edina’s Human Services Task Force seeks proposals for 2015
human services funding. The task force, made up of members of Edina’s advisory boards and commissions, will
make recommendations on human services funding to the Edina City Council.
This funding is open to non-profit human services agencies and organizations that serve Edina residents.
Organizations need not be based in Edina, but their service area must include Edina residents. Previous
recipients have included VEAP and Conflict Resolution Minnesota.
Human services providers may submit proposals for 2015 funding of their services, indicating how they intend
to meet the needs of Edina residents. Applicants will be asked to present short presentations supporting their
funding requests at a meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 29. At the meeting, applicants will introduce their
organizations and briefly share how they serve the Edina population, how the requested funds will be spent and
what other sources of funding the organization expects to receive.
“The City of Edina is very excited about this program,” said Project Coordinator MJ Lamon. “It’s an excellent
chance for the City to provide support to organizations that in turn provide so much support and assistance to
Edina community members.”
Requests and proposals for 2015 funding are due 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 30. For more information or to
request an application, contact Lamon at 952-826-0360 or MLamon@EdinaMN.gov. Applications can be found
online at www.EdinaMN.gov/Finance.
