Agenda Item Summary:
Innovative NonProfit, LLC.

Background: INP LLC is a South Dakota company that has a track record serving this region. They have a track record working with local Rapid City groups already addressing violence prevention by meeting emergency needs within the Rapid City Community. INP contracted with the White House Community Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative to support local Rapid City organizations involved in the Community Violence Intervention Collaborative in 2022 and supported 3 organizations with capacity development and technical assistance.
Current effort: In addition to supporting our City grant management efforts, INP will work directly with agencies identified by City as viable local groups at various stages of formalized development. INP will initially evaluate structures and strengths of existing organizations, and help establish new groups who are willing to cooperate with City and INP in strengthening their current operations, in support of preventing and reducing violence in our community. INP will provide quarterly reports to the City to measure progress toward the goal of establishing and maintaining viable City processes and outside agencies to serve our Rapid City community now and in the future.
