We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
The program aims to provide affordable funding to develop essential community facilities in rural areas. It focuses on enhancing the quality of life in rural communities by supporting the development and improvement of facilities that offer crucial services. The program's interest spans a wide range of community services including health care, public safety, education, utilities, and local food systems among others. It is designed to assist rural areas, particularly those with populations of no more than 20,000 residents, based on the latest U.S. Census Data. Funding can be used for purchasing, constructing, improving facilities, or procuring necessary equipment. The grant assistance is graduated, favoring smaller communities with lower median household incomes, allowing for a higher proportion of project costs to be covered by the grant.
