Moments of Growth: Funders + Partners


This episode of the Growing Small Town Show features three humans that have, in some way, shape, or form, partnered or funded some of the work that we do here at Growing Small Towns. Because we’re a nonprofit, we are always looking for partners who believe in this work as much as we do to help make it happen. 

Our philosophy is “Work with the willing and love the rest,” because we don’t believe in forcing people to support this work if it’s not their thing! But, we do dearly love and appreciate the humans and organizations who come alongside us to bring the mission of Growing Small Towns to the communities that want and need our help. 

This episode features three of those humans, and each of them share why and how they chose to get involved with GST, why they’re enthusiastic about what we do, and what it means to them and their organization to partner with us. 

In this episode, we hear from:

  • Bernie Sinner, President and Senior Lending Officer at Bank North, and a member of our board

  • Kathy Marquette, Associate Professor of Business Administration and Management at North Dakota State College of Science

  • Paul Matthys, CEO of Cass County Electric Cooperative
