During the first & second phase of Going Hog Wild in Martin County project it became apparent that forming a nonprofit would not only enable us to better further GHW but enable us to develop, support & promote additional projects throughout Martin County. So in January of 2023 the nonprofit "Imagine Martin" was formed with a goal to work with artists, visionaries and other nonprofits to make their and our unique projects a reality for Martin County MN.
