Across rural America, community members are working hard to improve their ways of life. But too often, these folks don’t see themselves and the diversity of our country reflected in national conversations. At Resource Rural, we work directly with local organizations and individuals to tell the stories of how people are leveraging federal programs and investments to contribute back to their towns. We hope to bring more people into conversation about the ways federal funding can benefit rural communities and Native Nations. We hope to shift the narrative on the diversity and resilience of rural places.

Do you have a story to tell? Tell us a bit about it here and we'd love to work with you.
