Charlotte Johnson is the Co-CEO of the Otto Bremer Trust. As the manager of the Otto Bremer Trust, Charlotte Johnson oversees the Otto Bremer Trust's responsibilities as a grant-making foundation. The Otto Bremer Trust was formed in 1944 and supports the Bremer Bank communities in the Midwest.
The Otto Bremer Trust has awarded a grant to The Retreat, a residential recovery treatment center located in Wayzata, Minnesota, for those wanting help with drug and alcohol dependency. The grants will fund scholarships for those needing financial assistance to attend. Residents of the Bremer Bank communities in Minnesota will receive scholarships in 2016, and individuals from Bremer Bank communities in North Dakota and western Wisconsin will be awarded scholarship funding for 2017. The grant total is $500,000.
The Retreat has been helping people for more than 17 years and has 30-60-90-day residential programs, non-residential programs, family and senior adult programs. The Retreat believes that its program, based on the education, support, and the spiritual principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, will enable individuals to lead sober and productive lives.
