Collective Action for Rural Success in Colorado

The Rural Funders Learning Network (RFLN) addresses pressing, systemic issues in rural regions that share challenges - affordable housing, economic distress, limited access to healthcare and childcare, and community cohesion, to name a few. This session will highlight a structure and pathways for developing rural funding networks and cultivate investment for place - based and statewide funders, and cross-sector partners in rural communities. Two different regions of the state will be highlighted, including the San Luis Valley and Telluride (San Miguel, Ouray and western Montrose Counties).
