Before Stand Up for Rural America, no one knew how many community developers were working to
transform distressed rural towns and counties. Nobody had documented where these grassroots groups were,
the activities they were undertaking and what they had achieved. One result was that rural community
developers received fewer resources and less policy support than their urban counterparts.
Stand Up for Rural America began in 1998. It is a national coalition initiative dedicated to helping
rural community developers gain the attention, resources and policy support their work deserves.
