We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
The grant program facilitates the development of essential community facilities in rural areas, targeting communities with no more than 20,000 residents. It offers financial support for purchasing, constructing, and improving facilities and for buying necessary equipment. The program supports a wide range of essential services including healthcare, public safety, education, public facilities, community support services, and local food systems. Grant assistance varies, with smaller, lower-income communities eligible for a higher proportion of grant funds, based on population size and median household income, to cover up to 75% of project costs in certain conditions. The program emphasizes supporting projects that significantly improve the service delivery and quality of life in rural communities.
