Kellogg Foundation expands Rural Policy Networks

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has added 26 more organizations to its Rural Policy Networks, a multi-year initiative designed to improve the lives of those living in small communities across the nation. Each organization receives a $100,000 grant (over five years) to participate.

The Rural People, Rural Policy initiative began three years ago with an at-large network and four regional networks, in Central Appalachia, the Great Plains, the Mid-South, and the Southwest. A Network of National Organizations was added, and this year Kellogg funded an existing Michigan Network. The networks bring together diverse organizations for developing rural policies locally, statewide, regionally and nationally.
