About the Network

The Rural Funder Network exists to support the philanthropic work of Missouri grantmakers/funders who invest in rural communities or who are interested in learning more. This Network meets quarterly in rural communities throughout the state.

Network participants will have the opportunity to build trusting relationships with peer rural funders; share values-aligned, effective, and innovative rural philanthropic practice; grow in understanding of equitable philanthropic practice and the lived experience of rural Missourians; explore regional and/or statewide collaborations that will be build awareness of, cultivate a strong capacity in, and bring more resources to rural communities; and become a strong voice for rural philanthropy throughout Missouri.
