Lunch Plenary Session: Funding the Rural-Urban Connection

Rural and urban communities need each other. But while their interdependence plays out in their economies, cultures, and environments, prevailing narratives center on differences and divides. Meanwhile, rural communities account for close to 20 percent of the population, but they receive only 7 percent of philanthropic spending. Join us for a special taping of the Funding Rural podcast, as host Erin Borla interviews two rural leaders on how investing in the bonds that already exist between rural and urban communities can create new opportunities for shared prosperity.
