We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This program provides affordable funding specifically designed to develop essential community facilities in rural areas. Eligible areas are rural communities, including Federally Recognized Tribal Lands, with no more than 20,000 residents. The grant supports various projects, such as constructing, purchasing, and improving community facilities and purchasing necessary equipment. Examples of facilities that can be funded include healthcare establishments, public safety services, community support services, educational services, and local food systems. Grant assistance is offered on a sliding scale based on the community's population and median household income, ensuring that smaller, lower-income communities have access to a higher proportion of grant funds.
