Chronicle of Philanthropy Highlights Funding Collaboratives

Philanthropic funding stands to make a big impact in rural America. A recent Chronicle of Philanthropy article highlights the stark realities of rural life that our communities know too well: only 7% of philanthropic funding goes to rural places, even though 86% of U.S. persistent-poverty counties are rural.

The article highlights the impact of funding collaboratives, bringing together donors to make headway on challenges in rural communities. The funding collaborative model offers an effective approach for funders and practitioners interested in addressing these urgent gaps.
