Expanding the Promise

Vinland National Center recently launched its “Expanding the Promise” capital campaign to raise $3.5 million to expand its main campus facility in Loretto, located 25 miles west of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Construction on the expansion will begin in mid-2011 and will add 20 chemical health beds to Vinland’s existing 41-bed residential facility. Vinland will also add a new kitchen and dining facility, an expanded therapeutic exercise facility, a new commons area, and additional meeting space. The expansion will increase Vinland’s existing main campus square footage by 50 percent.

Growing Demand

Since the program began more than 20 years ago, demand for Vinland's chemical health program has grown each year. We must expand our facility to keep pace with the growing need for our services.

With the addition of more physical space to our main campus, Vinland will be able to:

• Provide more conventional treatment and complementary care services to our clients.
• Let our community partners (such as social service agencies, courts, healthcare providers, and county administrators) know they can rely on us to have beds available when needed.
• Expand our capacity to serve more women and change the ratio of male/female beds as necessary to meet our needs.
• Offer more mental health services to our clients.

Fundraising Goal

The goal of Vinland’s “Expanding the Promise” capital campaign is to raise $3.5 million. Vinland’s Board of Directors has committed to spending $500,000 of its cash reserves and to securing up to $1.5 million in financing towards this goal, but Vinland is depending upon its “Expanding the Promise” capital campaign to raise the remaining $1.5 million to complete the project.
