We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This grant program supports the development of essential community facilities in rural areas. It aims to provide affordable funding for facilities that deliver crucial services for the orderly development of the community, specifically in areas with no more than 20,000 residents according to the latest U.S. Census Data. Eligible facilities include healthcare, public facilities, community support services, public safety services, educational services, utility services, and local food systems. The grant assistance offered varies, with a higher proportion of funds available to smaller communities with the lowest median household income. Funding can be used for purchasing, constructing, and improving these facilities as well as for buying necessary equipment and covering related expenses.
