Identifying the Networks Undermining Local Control
These are the four primary organizations funneling Agenda 21 / Governor Walz–aligned programs into Minnesota communities.
Once easy to spot, these groups now often hide behind neutral-sounding names or “regional partnerships.”
Despite the rebranding, most of the authority, funding, and UN-aligned policies still flow through them.
It’s critical that citizens and local leaders learn to recognize these organizations and share this information to protect our towns, schools, and families across the state.
The Four Major Groups
1️⃣ SOURCEWELL
A Minnesota government agency that operates nationwide under the guise of a “service cooperative.”
Sourcewell partners with large corporations and schools, offering discounted products or services — but often introducing UN-based education and equity programs such as STEM, SEED, SEL, AVID, and Common Core.
Their influence extends into classrooms, community projects, and corporate partnerships.
These planning networks operate regionally rather than locally, using grants to persuade smaller municipalities and township boards to surrender long-term planning authority.
Their policies align directly with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and often replace citizen-led governance with centralized, unelected regional management.
Found in nearly every community over a few thousand people, the NLC promotes federal and UN sustainability policies disguised as local improvement initiatives.
They provide training and policy templates that steer city officials toward “global governance” principles.
The Initiative Foundation distributes large sums of state, federal, and private grant money to fund “sustainability” and “community development” projects statewide.
Despite ongoing budget crises, it continues to fund programs that advance UN-aligned agendas.
Citizens are urged to question:
Where does this money come from?
Who will sustain these projects once the grants run out?
Further Research and Documentation
The Child Protection League of Minnesota (CPL) has compiled extensive documentation showing how these organizations coordinate through NGOs and regional governance systems.
Their investigative work is clear, credible, and backed by public records.

Your Main Tool to Stop Them: Refuse the Grants
Free Money Isn’t Free — It’s Control Disguised as Help
The most effective way to stop these organizations is simple: refuse their grants.
Every major program pushing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and centralized control depends on one thing — local acceptance of outside funding. These grants are presented as “free money” for schools, cities, and community projects, but in reality they come with conditions that surrender local decision-making and advance destructive policies.
By accepting these funds, local governments unknowingly allow external agencies to dictate future planning, education, and land-use rules.
Here’s what you need to know:
- 💰 It’s not free money. Each grant carries hidden costs — control clauses, policy mandates, and long-term obligations.
- 🏦 A percentage is skimmed off the top. These funds enrich the same organizations that claim to “help” local communities.
- ⚖️ Some even enforce ideological compliance. Programs like Sourcewell include contractual terms such as “Sharia compliance” and other requirements that may conflict with American constitutional values.
The solution is clear:
Reject all grants connected to these agencies.
Rebuild your communities with local funding, transparency, and accountability.
When citizens and local boards stand firm, these outside networks lose their leverage — and the people regain control of their future.
“Freedom is never bought with grant money — it’s preserved by saying no.”
