About Resource Rural

Resource Rural is an initiative to mobilize resources, enabling rural communities and Native Nations to unlock public and private investment and create positive and groundbreaking change in their communities. We believe rural people know what’s best for themselves and their loved ones and can create the future they envision when equipped with the necessary resources.

Our Core Areas of Work:

 National Hub and Network

Resource Rural’s National Hub is working with partners across the country to enable rural and Indigenous communities to access public funding.



Advocacy and Organizing

Rural community members understand better than anyone else what their own communities need to thrive. But without advocacy and organizing, their voices are not always heard.



Storytelling and Communications Support

In small towns and cities, Native nations, and rural counties, people are working together to use public funding to make good things happen in their communities.

High Leverage Climate Opportunities

We know the road to climate progress runs straight through rural America, creating an urgent opportunity and responsibility for philanthropy to lean into rural innovation and leadership.
