We are committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America.
This grant 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 funding the development of facilities that are crucial for the orderly development of these areas. These facilities might include healthcare facilities, public safety services, public facilities, community support services, educational services, and local food systems. The program benefits rural areas with no more than 20,000 residents, prioritizing projects in communities with the smallest populations and lowest median household incomes for a higher proportion of grant funds. Specific causes supported include healthcare, education, public safety, community support, and local food systems. The grant assistance varies based on the population size and median household income of the community, with a maximum of 75 percent funding for the smallest and most economically challenged communities.
