As trustee and co-CEO with Otto Bremer Trust (OBT), Charlotte Johnson is tasked with guiding the distribution of grants to organizations spanning the Upper Midwest. Among the nonprofits that Charlotte Johnson and her Otto Bremer Trust colleagues directed funds toward in early 2017 was Crow Wing County Victim Services.
Located in Brainerd, Minnesota, the organization offers financial, court-related, and general support services to approximately 2,000 victims on an annual basis. The only organization of its type countywide, it is a critical support vehicle for those who have experienced kidnapping, burglary, harassment, stalking, and Internet crimes.
The $50,000 received by Crow Wing County Victim Services will allow it to fully aid victims as they seek recovery from criminal incidents. In addition to general recovery support, the organization provides informed legal guidance as the alleged offender navigates the criminal justice system. The grant was described by an OBT executive as assisting victims in taking first steps toward “healing and resolution.”
