City of Moorhead - Human Rights Commission Meeting Sep 16, 2026

The City of Moorhead Human Rights Commission held a meeting on September 16, 2026, focusing primarily on community support programs and advocacy services. Presentations included the Ambankraft Foundation, which offers grants up to $2,500 to support girls' social and emotional development through activities like robotics competitions and youth conferences, as well as a free annual Girlhood Summit. Another key presentation was from the Freedom Resource Center for Independent Living, which provides federally mandated core services such as information and referral, advocacy, transition services, independent living skills, and peer mentoring for individuals with disabilities. The Center also offers free temporary ramps and assists with grant applications for permanent accessibility modifications. While no direct procurement or contract awards were discussed, the meeting highlighted grant opportunities and community resource programs that could influence future funding and partnership opportunities. The commission also discussed upcoming community events and fundraising efforts, including support for a girls' wrestling team and suicide awareness initiatives.
