The Center for Rural Development changes people’s lives. To continue doing so, we need your support. The Center relies on contributions from foundations, organizations, and individuals to help us deliver our programs and services throughout our 45-country primary services area. For example, our summer youth leadership programs -Rogers Scholars, Rogers Explorers, and the Entrepreneurial Leadership Institute-are offered at no cost and give students leadership and scholarship opportunities that position them to become our region’s next generation of leaders. The Center provides leadership that stimulates innovative and sustainable economic development solutions and a better way of life for citizens we serve.

Help us continue delivering these programs by contributing today and joining us in our mission!
