Serving on the board of directors of the Bremer Financial Corporation, Charlotte Johnson, Otto Bremer Trust co-CEO, manages the corporation's investments in Bremer Bank. As part of the Otto Bremer Trust’s ongoing community outreach projects, they recently announced a $250,000 grant to the Saint Paul Police Foundation.
A non-profit supporting community projects that create partnerships, leverage technology to fight and solve crime, and enhance the preparedness of the Saint Paul Police Department, the Saint Paul Police Foundation is the bridge between the police and members of the community.
Some of the programs supported by the foundation include: Saint Paul Police Athletic League (PAL) which brings together the city’s police and the youth through recreational activities, the YWCA/Saint Paul Junior Police Academy which exposes youth to the operations of the police department so as to build trust, and the Advanced Via Individual Determination Program which prepares students for college success.
The foundation will use the grant to expand existing outreach programs. The Otto Bremer Trust also pledged $250,000 to support the police foundation’s programs in 2017.
