In rural regions, philanthropic organizations often work in small hubs of towns or cities where there is a dense civil sector that funders can partner with. Working in these smaller communities requires a different kind of philanthropic mindset than that of more metropolitan or micropolitan areas — particularly because of the presence of distinct political divides around many of today’s pressing health, economic and social sector issues. Join us for this session to hear about challenges and opportunities in supporting the future of small rural communities and how your organization's philanthropic endeavors can be more effective in rural areas.     

Philanthropy Northwest is partnering with Allen Smart of Philanthropy Worx to present this Rural Funder Series. In 2021, we will co-facilitate a series of six sessions where we will explore issues relevant to rural funders.
