Overseeing the activities of the Otto Bremer Trust in her role as trustee and co-CEO, Charlotte Johnson helps manage the trust in accordance with its Trust Instrument. In January 2017, the Otto Bremer Trust announced that it has awarded over $47 million in grants and investments to programs and organizations that meet the trust’s goal of building communities through organized initiatives throughout Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, and North Dakota.
In total, grants and investments were made to over 550 organizations in the regions where the trust operates. Charlotte Johnson spoke about the pride she and the organization felt in having broken previous records to make the $47.3 million granted throughout 2016 the largest distribution during the course of a year in the history of the trust.
The amount exceeds the average annual figure of $42 million, set over the last five years, and brings the amount granted by the organization in its lifetime above $600 million.
