Response-Ability: Announcing Our Charitable Giving Campaign!

July 7, 2020

Konik PrimeStaff is excited to launch our “Response-Ability” charitable giving campaign! For the remainder of the year, we will donate $200 per placement, up to $25,000, to our charitable fund! This benefits two highly impactful Minneapolis area non-profits, Cookie Cart and West Broadway Business and Area Coalition.

As a Minneapolis-based technical recruiting firm since 1974, we are heartbroken by recent events, and the effects it’s having on the city, our neighbors, and business peers and are eager to give back to our community. This initiative closely aligns with our Purpose: Positively impact people’s lives based on the life and legacy of our founders. In this time of uncertainty, we strive to help whenever and wherever we can, and this is one way we’re able to do so.

Our Response-Ability to the Community

Cookie Cart, “Baking Bright Futures,” is based in North Minneapolis and provides urban youth, ages 15 to 18 years old, with lasting and meaningful work, life, and leadership skills through experience and training in a non-profit bakery. The long-term employment readiness impact on enrolled youths includes leadership development, connectedness to new communities, strengthened future goal orientation and enhanced critical thinking skills.

The West Broadway Business and Area Coalition (WBC) supports local businesses and the community in several ways. They serve as a resource to connect technical assistance providers, offer financial resources to recover from recent civil unrest damage, advocate for businesses along the West Broadway Corridor, and connect business owners to develop more robust networks in North Minneapolis.

Join our Response-Ability Campaign

We invite you to join our campaign to impact the future of our beloved hometown and rebuild our community one donation at a time. Our goal is to raise $25,000 for this fund by December 31st, 2020. Here are two ways your company can help:

  1. Open a new direct or contract position with us, and we’ll donate $200 each time our candidate starts.
  2. Don’t have an open position? We welcome any additional contributions to the fund.
