Resilience 365 Fund Recipients Announced!

The votes are in for Resilience 365 Funds! We've tallied the votes and are excited to announce the projects YOU chose to fund. With over 3,100 people participating, we were able to fund more projects than we intended. Twenty-nine projects are being funded based on your votes in the following three categories. The total amount of these projects across all three categories is $510,000.

Ripple Effect: 11 Projects 
Wave Effect: 16 Projects 
Tsunami Effect: 2 Projects

Find details on funded projects here

ReCAST Minneapolis was able to fund more projects in the wave category as a result of being under budget with the proposals that were selected by the community. We made the decision to fund the six next highest voted on proposals in this category, giving us the opportunity to diversify our cultural and geographic reach across the City of Minneapolis.

There were many great projects that were represented in this process and it is unfortunate that we are not able to fund more. However, we will continue to look for ways to partner with the projects that were not selected in this process in the near future. Stay tuned for more details as we gain greater clarity here.


Survey for Advisory Team Members

As the ReCAST Minneapolis team transitions into year three of the project, they are looking to Advisory Team members to provide feedback about the Advisory Team overall. If you have been a thought partner with ReCAST or are currently serving on the Advisory Team, please complete this brief, 10-question survey. The feedback will help shape how we staff, support, and grow the influence of the Advisory Team in the years ahead.

Trauma Informed Services

ReCAST Minneapolis Connect 

ReCAST Minneapolis Connect is in full swing! The ReCAST team invites you to connect with community cultural healers or mental health providers in your neighborhood.

  • Community Cultural Healer: Individuals from a particular culture and/or ethnic group whose work is rooted in traditional practices as sources of healing and resiliency, rather than western scientific practices alone. 
  • Mental Health Provider: Professionals who provide therapeutic treatment. 

Providers are invited to join the provider map as well as apply for Connect Funds that are available to enhance and expand your work in community.

About ReCAST Minneapolis

The Resilience in Communities After Stress & Trauma (ReCAST) Minneapolis Program is funded through a multi-year grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). ReCAST Minneapolis is intended to assist high-risk youth and families, and promote resilience and equity in communities that have recently faced civil unrest through the implementation of evidence-based violence prevention and community youth engagement programs, as well as linkages to trauma-informed behavioral health services. SAMHSA created the ReCAST Program to support communities that have lived through demonstrations of mass protest in response to police-involved shootings of unarmed African-American males. 

For more information, please email ReCASTMinneapolisInfo@minneapolismn.gov.
