InfraGard is a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) program that began in 1996 and has since grown to a national organization of 77 Member Alliances and over 70,000 members. InfraGard MN is linked to the Minneapolis FBI Field Office and supports the FBI’s investigative mission, especially as it pertains to counterterrorism and cyber security, as well as the DHS Critical Infrastructure Protection program.

As an information sharing and networking initiative, InfraGard is serving the interests and combining the subject-matter expertise of a wide range of members. At its most basic level, InfraGard is a partnership between the FBI and private and public sector individuals. InfraGard members represent businesses, academic institutions, state and local law enforcement agencies, and other participants dedicated to sharing information and intelligence to prevent hostile acts against the United States. InfraGard “Chapters” are geographically linked with FBI Field Office territories and are a partnership between private sector led InfraGard Members Alliances and the FBI.

The InfraGard Minnesota Chapter covers the state of Minnesota and all 16 of the DHS critical infrastructure sectors. Our members are individuals who have been vetted by the FBI for Official Use Only (FOUO) and Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) information. Our Chapter is continually growing and has over 1700 members governed by our Board of Directors.

The goal of InfraGard is to promote ongoing dialogue and timely communication between its members, the private sector, the FBI, and other federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies. This goal is supported by the following objectives:

  • To increase the quantity and quality of information sharing and reporting from InfraGard members to the FBI and its law enforcement partners
  • To provide members value-added threat briefings, alerts, and analytical intelligence products regarding all hazards to the 16 DHS-recognized critical infrastructure sectors
  • To promote effective liaison with local, state, and federal agencies, to include the Department of Homeland Security
  • To provide members a forum for education and training on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cyber security, and other matters relevant to preventing potential crimes and attacks on the nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR)

Your financial support will enable us to achieve these important objectives in addition to sending leadership to the Annual National Congress and FBI National Events and to support the Annual Secure360 and Student360 conferences.

We hope that you will consider sponsoring our InfraGard Members Alliance at one of the levels described on the attached summary sheet. Our guiding philosophy in acquiring financial support is to form a long-term relationship of mutual benefit to both InfraGard and its sponsors. Your sponsorship will be in effect for one year from the date of your acceptance of this offer.

To maximize the benefit of these sponsorships for the companies involved, it is important to provide web publication-ready logos and marketing material for the Chapter website.
