  • Summary

  • The Duluth NAACP is hosting its annual Freedom Fund Dinner on Saturday. Donations from the dinner will go to the Duluth NAACP as well as a newer organization called Ignite Empower Transform.


    Through its Economic Empowerment Center started last year, the nonprofit’s single employee is working to address economic and racial inequality in Duluth, one community member at a time. In Duluth and across the state, there are racial disparities in income. Black and Native American households in northeast Minnesota made $30,000 less on average than white households in 2022, according to a state analysis of Census data.


    Ignite Empower Transform’s Community Coordinator Tiffany Fenner and one of the organization’s board members, Amanda Linquist, joined Minnesota Now to share more about the new nonprofit.
