Why Join The Rural Community Developers Network?
No other
organization focuses on the needs of the diverse universe of
rural community developers. The Network exists to
educate funders, lenders and policy makers about the unique
challenges and opportunities facing rural communities, and
give members a voice in the debate over public policies.
As a Network
Member, you have the opportunity to connect with your peers
across the country, and to strengthen efforts to bring more
attention, resources and policy support for your work.
Members of the
Network receive Stand Up's bi-weekly newsletter, the Network
Reporter which provides you with the latest news on policy
developments, funding and financing opportunities, training
events and conferences and the other resources your group
needs to succeed.
To join the
Network of Rural Community Developers, your organization needs
to be a private nonprofit corporation working to develop a
rural community with significant numbers of low income
residents. Network members receive the biweekly Network
Reporter free by e-mail, blastfax or hard copy. It
contains information on funding and financing opportunities,
policy issues, trainings and other resources. If you are
not a Rural Community Developer but would like to receive the Network
Reporter, please sign up as a Friend of the Network
and we will be happy to send you a complimentary electronic
copy. |
