Rural Reach is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit extension of Realizing Rural, created to extend the same critical services to under-resourced communities that might otherwise go without. Rooted in our shared mission of shifting the rural narrative from surviving to thriving, Rural Reach allows us to provide grant writing, planning, and capacity-building support to the organizations and communities who need it most. While Realizing Rural works with paying clients, Rural Reach ensures that cost is never a barrier for rural movers and shakers doing meaningful work with limited resources.

Through Rural Reach, we offer:

• Grant writing support

• Strategic planning assistance

• Business and nonprofit development

• Communications and storytelling help

• Technical assistance for economic and workforce development

• Capacity building for rural leaders and grassroots organizations
