Investee Spotlight
Roots for the Home Team is wrapping up a productive three-year engagement with SVP and Factory Motor Parts. Executive Director, Sue Moores, cites the unsexy, but essential work of strengthening Roots' financial framework as the greatest outcome of our grant+consulting relationship. We're excited to see Roots' continued impact on youth. Keep an eye out for their Salad Up! cart at Gate 34 at Target Field for one of the best salads you've ever had!
