Collaborating and learning for rural community transformation.

The National Rural Funders Collaborative is a philanthropic initiative designed to leverage $100 million over ten years to support rural communities and families facing persistent poverty. Our vision is to share and leverage our collective knowledge and influence, as well as our dollars, for the purpose of expanding the availability and impact of human, technical and financial resources necessary for effecting and sustaining positive, measurable change. Recognizing that private philanthropy cannot meet this goal alone, we seek to enlarge the commitment to rural America through leveraging other public and private resources at local, regional and national levels.
