Communities

COLLABORATION

When RuralWorks invests in a rural business, we’re also investing in the local community. Accordingly, RuralWorks engages local partners to help us understand the unique attributes and needs of the community and help us design appropriate strategies, make critical connections, and deliver impactful resources that positively impact not only our investment but the surrounding community now and in the future.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MOMENTUM

RuralWorks will support businesses having a commitment to good corporate citizenship and their local community development ecosystems, adding our resources – knowledge, networks and capital – to the mix of community assets needed for businesses to thrive.

LONG-TERM IMPACT

Directly and through our networks, we work to create connectivity between our rural businesses and their local communities in a manner that provides ongoing benefits to both local communities and the planet which helps to ensure that these businesses have a sustainable path to lasting growth within communities.

CLIMATE

Support for sustainable solutions that address climate change and other environmental challenges has been growing since the Paris Accord became effective in 2016, with heightened attention from public and private interests over the past few years. We work to be part of the solution by scaling businesses that promote environmentally beneficial practices and/or solutions to climate change or other environmental challenges. We strive to contribute to a healthier planet.
