GOVERNACE
& FUNDINGAs
a 501 c 3 non-profit organization, we are governed by a board
of directors that is made up of individuals from our community
who are committed to Rural Resources' mission. The board is
selected by a nominating committee and voted on by the standing board
of directors. The new directors are presented each year to
our membership at our annual meeting.
Rural Resources is funded by memberships, donations, and
grants from private foundations as well as goverment
sources. There is no dedicated stream of
funding. Every penny counts! By joining
